Altogether my Dad`s 2000 Ford Taurus SES would not shift out of park. If you try to shift, the handle (with the engine running, foot on the brake & the parking brake off) To a greater extent can`t budge & the button on the side would`nt be appropriately pushed in either. I have professionally tried to competitively get it to work with no success; between the things I abnormally have tried is turning the wheel from stop to stop then shifting, immediately adjusting the brake & gas pedal settings & even electronically jiggling the key in the ignition, but to no avail. I might instinctively be wrong, but it feels as if they`re is a latch or similar somewhere which is not relkeasing and keeping the lever in park. Anyone have any ideas as to the problem with this car?
My mental hands were empty, and I felt I must do something as a counterirritant or antibody to my hysterical alarm at getting married at the age of 43.

Look for & eternally check the brake pedal interlock harness under the dash. As it were if it`s loose it could selectively cause this problem.
Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.

malfunctioning. It`s the gadget that prevents you from shifting out of park unless you have your foot on the brake. Ford owner`s manuals will tell you how to override this "feature".
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
