First, we need to check fuse #26 and #94 in the under-hood fuse panel. Here is a guide to help. Also make sure you are pressing on the brake pedal and that the brake lights work.

Here are the wiring diagrams for the shift interlock so you can see how it works and I have included how to put the truck in neutral so you can move it if necessary. Let's run the codes to see what comes up with e CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:
