Hi,

I'm not sure what is happening. The heading indicates it is stuck in park with the battery disconnected, the post indicates when you disconnected the battery, it shifted fine.

To me, it would make sense that it wouldn't shift from park with the battery disconnected because there is not power to release the shift interlock system.

Let me know.
