Shifter Issues

I have a 2004 F150 SuperCrew and when I press the brake, it won't release the shifter so I can put it in gear. I can reach in the console and manually overide the connection but has anyone else experienced this? I have tried to track the connection and see if something was jammed, loose, etc, but can't seem to come up with anything. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated....

Eric

I think there is a sensor/switch on your brake pedal arm you can check.

Check for a blown fuse or a bad stop light switch.

like said above, check your fuses... make sure that your brake lights are working, and that will eliminate posibility of a bad switch on the pedal. you should hear a clicking noise when the brake pedal is pressed..... if not, then the actual latch on the shifter might need to be replaced.
