99 CL 3.0 got Stuck in Park
 

Went to run some errands today and my 99 CL 3.0 wouldn't shift out of Park. I then pumped the brake pedal a bit and finally got it into gear. This happened 3 times today and has never happened before.

I did a search on the forums and it seems that it could be caused by a number of things. My brake lights appear to be working so I think my problem may be similar to the post listed below:

I remember receiving a mailing about a recall regaring a recall which I haven't gotten around to doing. I'm not sure its related to my problem above.

Anyone else experience this on their CL? Any other tips?


Thanks.

Also I tried to remove the small cover on the shift plate and to my surprise there was no key slot.:mad: It was just an empty cavity.

You should be able to slip a small screwdriver in there toward the bottom side of the hole to disengage the shift interlock as can be seen at 1:08 in this video.

the recall should fix it for you.
