black mondeo ghia Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 hi all i have a 2004 mondeo auto the gear stick keeps sticking in park. the button on the back wont press in. i can free this off by using the manual release through the hole in the consul. but although the gear stick is released this does not free off the parking brake itself. i eventually got the gear stick free and working as it should so the parking brake was off. i am now having to leave the car in neutral and the spare key in the ignition. when working properly a month back when putting into park applying handbrake with foot on the brake pedal there was a buzzing sound i presume so you can hear its working i no longer get this sound. any ideas? could it be the sensors on the brake pedal ? or even the spring on the button in the gear stick? oh and brake lights work ok. any advice greatly appreciated. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The release mechanism on the shifter could be dirty or faulty, clean and lubricate Or one of the brake pedal switches is faulty or out of adjustment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
