My car wouldn't shift out of park when I went to go to work this afternoon. Cab would have taken too long to get here and than to work. Missed shift and car repairs.
Fortunately it looks like it's either the BOO switch or the MFS both of which I should be able to fix tonight, but I didn't need to miss that shift and have to buy fucking car parts.
Edit:
It's the BOO. Wires frayed. I think I may be able to fix it with just a pair of wire strippers. I've never needed wire strippers to cut the shielding of cables before...new experience.
I shaved my beard and I'm already regretting it. I also regret getting a haircut last month.
I just look better with hair![]()
Lemme know how that turns out for you. My tbird had this exact same problem. I had my nephew in law cut a wire in the shifter, which freed things up but now the car's electrical is dead.
It's the BOO for sure, but I can't get the leftover wire out of the switch so I am paying Ford to do it for me. Bullocks. Considering the job is pretty much already done.
I can't imagine why your car's electrical would be dead from a wire in the shifter. Could be the Multifunction Switch (MFS) maybe?
Easier why to solve the issue is to turn your key to the 'on' position, shift into neutral (you can do it in the on position) and than throw the ignition. Or you could just disable the interlock. But I don't have the right sized punch for my Crown Vic.
Although if your BOO is dead you won't have any brake lights.

This is why you try shoes before buying them.
I'm sadfaced because I'm home again from my trip to Stockholm. Back to everyday stress.
Watching Nancy Grace's face on my TV. I hate looking at her. Her face sucks.
