Probably the best brake switch replacement video for 2010 F150's that's out there. Even showed the fusebox and fuse number. Thanks! Hopefully I don't have to replace the entire shift mechanism, since I forced the shifter out of park just to get it home. But your video shows the best action of the shifter solenoid pawl and shift gate mechanism.

Thank you man. Straight to the point, no dancing, no corny jokes. Thanks again

Awesome! Exactly what the problem was....mechanic gave us a price of $900 and told us the whole center console needing switching. Your video sent me to the parts store and it cost me $35. Thanks again!

This solution worked great. I replaced the brake switch and my 2010 F150 Platinum immediately started shifting out of Park. $31 fix!

Awesome Video. Took less than a minute to replace and fixed all the issues! Saved me HUNDREDS of dollars. I can't thank you enough my man.

There is an easy fix for the shift interlock that might work for you. It worked for me. Remove the console panel over the shifter mechanism. If you have an older F150 like I do, you will find a lot of dirt, grease, and crumbs under there. Vacuum out as much as you can. Find the interlock release button. Depending on the year, it could be on the right or the left of the shifter. With the truck running, engage the brake and see if the release button moves. If it doesn't, try this: Get a can of pressurized air like is used to clean computer keyboards. Put the red nozzle on the sprayer and start to spray. Get all around the interlock and even try to squirt air inside it. It might take a little while. Even a small piece of dirt can stop the release from working. If it works for you it can change a hassle into a five minute fix. At worst, you cleaned your console.

Thanks a ton for posting. I am way up in the mountains. My 2015 F150 would not shift out of park. I had removed my console shifter trim awhile back when I installed the electronic trailer brake module, so I was familiar with that. My 15 is a little different but now I can shift and drive and return to park. More importantly I can get back home and fix permanently. Again, thanks for posting you saved my a$$!

Thank you for this detailed, yet easy to understand video. I was able to fix my F150 myself just by this video!!

Thank you so much for this clear and concise video demonstrating everything needed to fix this issue. Had my truck diagnosed and fixed in less than an hour.

You just saved to little girls lives. Love you man! Stay blessed

This video saved me a ton of time and money. I would love to shake your hand. Thank you!

Lifesaver. Mine happened at the boat ramp after I had just loaded my boat with the truck stuck in park unable to move. Great video.

Thank you so much! Very informative and detailed video! I had to switch out vehicles at my daughter's High School to troubleshoot this problem in her f-150. Your video was the first one to pop up and I was able to clean off the shifter part and replace the fuse under the hood now she is ready to roll!

Bro, you totally saved me. I got it in but it wasn't working. I had to keep turning it counter clockwise until it lined up with the brackets the same way you have it in the video. Thank you so much!

This video just helped me get my truck to a safe spot until I could figure out how to get it properly repaired… thank you so much

This is how all car problem videos should be, Problem, quick fix and replacement of possible cause. Got me to troubleshoot my truck in 10min. 👊

Good morning! Loved the video. 2007 f150. Stuck in park. Fuses are good and just replaced the brake switch. Still nothing.

Thank you so much for this video. Fixed a 2012 expedition with it. Bought the part from Amazon.

Thank you so much ParkerBoyfilms. I did exactly that and it worked like a charm. I owe you steak and beer whenever you're in Orange County CA.😊

Worked like a champ!! Saved me a lot of time, money and heartache. Appreciate you man. I was able to take it off with my bare hand. Working man able to get in the bed and eventually back to work. Thanks again.

Holy crap dude. Where do I send the money? Was stuck somewhere I didn’t want to be had to leave quick jump down here found the answer. Thank you so much. Now to check the fuse in the switch. Where the hell would we be without KZfaq?

Thank you so much ! btw in my case your video it help me diagnose a faulty bushing at the end of Shift Linkage with the shifter.

Absolutely awesome video, especially for someone who may not be mechanically inclined on todys' vehicle

Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. this happened to me in the middle of the Badlands in South Dakota. We bypassed the switch on the shifter and we are rolling home. you Rock.

Omg you are great! Thank you soooo much! I know nothing about the mechanics on a Ford. This not only saved me from spending alot of $ but it WORKED!!!! thank you again!!!

Why has nobody caught the fact that the blue "brake light switch" that he showed replacing is not the brake light switch. It is the cruise control deactivation switch. The BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH is to the right of it, and is mounted directly to the pedal lever, and brake booster rod. If you replace the switch he shows you won't fix a thing, as it does not effect the interlock circuit.

Thanks for your time man you a life saver I swear 10 inch snow and I'm stuck you save me

Man ur awesome as hell dude. I was literally wrecking my brain and I don't need to wreck my brain no more. My thing was trying to locate the fuse man but you at least showed where the fuse was so yeah thank you so much.

Best detailed video, easy to understand, easy to follow. 10 stars, and three thumbs up..

There is also a small rectangle on the right side of the bezel around the shifter. You can put your key in that slot and move the shifter out of park. No need to pull your console apart. Pretty much every car with a console mounted shift lever has some sort of bypass that uses the key

Appreciate the help! Just replaced my switch 2012 expedition

Thank you 🙏 you save me a lot a money god bless you and keep doing this kind of videos that help us

Thanks your awesome !!!

Great video, exactly what I needed for my ‘12 expedition. Thanks!

Best video I had found! Thanks a lot bubba

Wow, man, thank you for sharing with us. I was able to fix the problem. God bless you

Thanks bruh.. saved me from my truck potentially about to be torn apart.. FYI, I have a 2010 Lincoln Navigator L

Saved our asses on a rainy day you did. Thanks for the video. I owe you a 🍸 🧉 🥛

Thanks for the video. This helped me fix the issue 👍🏻

My f150 has a button underneath the center console it was stuck thanks to your video my wife found that button just want to say thanks

Maybe there was too many crumbs in the gear selector lol. Thanks for showing👍🏻

thank you for the how to, just started to have this problem with my truck.

Thanks for the video! I already know how to replace it. Today exactly the same thing happened to me, I could not rule out Parking on my F150 2009 : - / I sprayed the brake switch on the contacts - it helped! And I buy a new switch. Thanks !

Very helpful. Thank you. This just started happening with my 2009.

Great video!! Thanks!

Thanks bro It helps me a lot

For anyone with the same issue, but not the same thing causing it, it was fuse #15 (5A Mini Fuse) that was blown on my 02 f150. I couldn't shift out of park, but also my windows, dome lights (and the light under the hood), and my wipers didn't work as well.

Thanks for helping!!!

You saved me! Thanks, man. Great video.

I think it’s fuse 46 a #15 fuse not the #20 fuse 45. 45 says it’s left and right tow turn relays. 46 is break pedal position (bpp) switch.

I have a 2012 raptor and just changed mines but it only worked for a bit and now it still doing it. What can be the issue?

Check ground connection 3 wires ,under fuse box inside truck ,mine was rusted out so bad when I went to take bolt out whole wall came out leaving big hole , had to cut wires and reconnect with new ends and bolt . It is a pretty common problem. My truck wouldn't shift with ac on . Now no problems

Hell, I was about to put a rag in the gas tank and take a little drive to the river. If ya know what I mean.

looking at the diagram it shows 46 as having the brake light on and off fuse, not 45. thats the Trailer tow stop turn relay feed.

Some great info brother thanks for sharing

Thanks a bunch this video got me out of a bind.

You're the man.. Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks for the video-well done!

It worked for me! Thank you for the amazing tips!

Thumbs up for a a cute trick...but my shifter is on the column...2000 instead of 2010

Thanks for posting this

Why not just put key to accessory position? This should let you shift to neutral. Then start engine and shift to drive. This has worked on every Ford that I have had this problem with

Do you have to unplug the battery before switching the blue switch

Cant thank you enough for this

What fuse exactly does it need?

My 2010 fx2 Ford f150 the center shift console it's just shifting up and down it won't stay on park , reverse or drive?

Great video. I fix this part with no problems. But now I need to replace the blue piece just above it. My key now wants to stick in the ignition. There is a small button on the bottom that the shifter pushes up in park that allows the key to complete the turn and be released. I need to know the name of that part. Please.

do you have a video for a 2012 F10 on the column shifter?

What is that called on the fuse box? Meaning how do I know which fuse I need for this problem?

Just saved me. Thank you!!

Did you have the column shifter or the console shifter ? Mine won’t move from park either but have the column shifter and most videos I find are for the console shifter

Replaced the brake light switch and it comes out of park but the brake lights will not come on unless you push the brake pedal to the floor. do you have to have the ECU codes reset ?

THANK YOU

Similar for a column shifter ?

Similar issue in 2004 Ford Freestar Minivan.. Mine was intermittent.. obviously brake related. If I started the Engine in Park, it would never come out of Park. Solution: Move the Trans to Neutral, then Start the Engine. 1. To make it work: a. Insert Key, klick Once to the Right. b. Move transmission to NEUTRAL. Apply Foot Brake c. Turn the Key to Start, Move to Drive. 2. In My Case, Fix it. (Your Mileage may vary) a. Bleed ALL 4 Brakes: Apparently there is both a Brake Sensor, and Brake Pedal Excursion Sensor.. If when pressed, the Brake Pedal go in too far, you cannot get out of Part. With the Engine Running and Power Brakes operational, any push on the brake trips the sensor.

2017 f 150 cruise control stopped working . I changed the brake switch now it days hill start assist not available. And won't more out of park position?

Thanks, saved me a tow

I am having the same issue now with a 2011 F150, but I have the XLT model with the shifter on the steering wheel. Any video fixes for that model would be greatly appreciated.

Good job bro

In the back of the clip has a lock pin just turn it an it will work

The brakes switch has a pin at the back just used a flat an turn it

On mine my problem is sometimes the lever doesn’t click any tips?

I have the same issue. I removed the console and found that when i step on the brake, the little pin does in fact retract like it should however the mechanism that drops downward when i try to take it out of park does not go down quite far enough. I found a broken piece of plastic laying in this area that has a little wheel on it? What would this be? i am sure it is the problem?

I am hoping it is the fuse on mine too. Thanks

Where do I buy the fuse

Thank you honey. Hope that's my problem..

What fuse tp change

Life save

Do I need to buy the fuse besides the solenoid too?

Thank you!

How do you know if it’s the fuse or the break switch that’s the problem?

were your brake lights not working?

Do these methods work for an 04 F-150

You just save me $150 thank you

good video

For what years?

Can anyone find a video for a 2021 f250? Popping fuse #7 for me. I can't shift out of park.

What is that switch called? Part number??

What’s the part actually called?

My F-150 shifter is on the column. Can’t get it out of park and it won’t start. Sometimes it Does start if I ram it down into reverse then back up in park then it may or may not start. I was told the tranny was replaced. I know it has something to do with the shifting cable. Mechanics here are crooks.
