I'm having a problem after i got my car back from a body shop. They replaced the driver side fender and doors for me. Now i can't get out of Park unless i press down the switch. Also the gears indicator light on the gauge cluster is not working.
- I have checked all of my brake lights and they are all in working order.
- I checked the STOP fuse and it's good. Checked the rest of the fuses and everything is good.
- I also exchanged a brake switch with another car. Didn't solve the problem.
The only thing left i can think of right now is the neutral safety switch. But I can't take it out completely. It's stuck because there's not enough room to take it out.
Have anyone done removing the neutral safety switch on the transmission for the GS yet? I managed to removed the two bolts but now i can't completely take it out because it's hitting against my car frame. Give me some tips if you have done it
Is there a way to test the part to know that it's the problem?
This is a picture i found of the part that's hitting against the frame

Recently i can't put my car into any gears. It's stuck on Park unless i push down the switch and my gears indicator light on the gauge cluster is not displaying =(
I read on the forums and the neutral switch seem to be the problem causing all of that.

I'm seriously running out of idea. I got the car back from the body shop because they were installing a new fender and door for me. I'm assuming they short or blew a fuses while doing that. Are there anything under the driver side fender that can cause this problem?

Check your brake lights. The car will not shift out of park unless the brake pedal is pressed, if the brake switch is broken or stuck you cant shift (and your lights wont work either).
I drove around for a week in my old ES300 before someone told me none of my brake lights worked. I had to use the release button to shift from park. Turns out it was the switch on the pedal.

where is the switch on the pedal and do you have the name of that switch by any chance?
