The vehicle will not come out of park. in addition, the windshield wipers, interior lights, door chime, and power windows will not work. I was told the brake light switch was often responsible for this condition so I replaced it but there was no change. I was also told a bad ground in the right-hand kick pane would do it but that is fine. I cannot find a wiring diagram for this vehicle and I don't know where to look next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I attached a pic of the shift interlock schematic below. There are two 5-amp fuses to check in the central junction box (CJB).

However, those fuses won't explain the other failures. Do me a favor. Check those two fuses. In addition, confirm there is power to them. I have a feeling you will find the fuses good but no power to them.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Once that is confirmed, then I will need to dig into the power distribution schematics and see where the power is coming from.

Let me know. Also, let me know if the brake lights are working.
