Good luck.
Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | Re: stuck in park? | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 868 Likes: 2 old hand | old hand Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 868 Likes: 2 | Does the linkage move at all or the shifter move at all?? its possible a connected piece of linkage came off, lost the retaining pin holding it to the transmission or what not. Worth looking into at least

My pick-up sometimes does that.. Just have to turn wheel a bit . know that sounds simple but just food for thought. | | | Re: stuck in park? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | I'm not a Dodge guy but most late model vehicles have some type of shift lever/brake pedal interlock. (My GMC has a brake pedal activated solenoid that pulls a cable release for the shift lever.) I'm not sure what type of interlock Dodge has but I would check to see if it's working properly. | | | Re: stuck in park? | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 969 Likes: 1 old hand | old hand Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 969 Likes: 1 | all the newer vehicle have brake interlocks on them my lebaron failed on me so I ended up breaking it off, but lebaron's very different from 03 ramvan. I don't have much info for you there. Check the brake pedal, sometimes there's an extra linkage on it it may be coming loose or something. Only thing I can think of.
Gone vannin' I'll call you later.
