My problem is when I get in it the first time of a morning the button on the side of the shifter for you to use to be able to change gears. This button won.t push in until you let the engine warm up for 3-5 minutes. What can be the suggestions on what is causing this problem? Please reply, Thanks in advance to anyone that gives their imput.

It operates on the same circuit as the brake lights so the first thing you want to do is to make sure the brake lights are working when this problem is present. If the brake lights are working, that proves the circuit is good up to that point, then you'll have to get to the solenoid in the console. Disassemble as much as you have to to access the solenoid near the shifting mechanism. Us a 12v test light to test for power coming and going at the solenoid when the brake is applied. If power is arriving and switching and the solenoid is not triggering, the solenoid is bad and will have to be replaced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. goosemasterkl Novice Oct 15, 2015, 3:29 AM Post #3 of 4 (1778 views) Re: 1992 Geo Prizm gear selector button won.t let you take it out park Sign In Would that cause it to do that the first time of a morning when I go to drive it and not anymore the rest of the day?
