Hey Guys, I have a 06' Nighthawk black TL 5AT w/ Nav with 38,000 miles. Last night when i was driving, i pulled up to a gas station and i went to put the shifter into P and realized that the shifter was stuck and couldn't go pass Neutral . So i opened up the drivers manual and it said i was in shift lock and i had to turn off the car.. use the key in the slot near the shifter to move it. I did that and shifted into P. Yet when i turned the car on, The Radio+ Nav screen were off..the temperature screen was on but no text and my 12V output where i attach my radar detector was off too. I dont think its a tranny problem cuz I turned it on and shifted [with my house key in the shift key slot] and the car still function properly [so i could get home at least]. I read up on other forums that it may be a brake switch, but why would it affect my Nav+radio and 12V? I checked and the brake still works. Could it be a fuse? My friends also think that my aftermarket sub could have shorted something out..maybe fuse related..Could someone pls help?

 

brake lights still works^

 

check your fuses, I think its fuse 32 that can cause all of this...

 

alright ill go check the fuses.

 

yeah man it worksss thanks..sorry for the late post

 

no problemo, good to see that you got it working

 

so what was the solution to this problem?

I just got this problem myself. My car would not start

so I checked my battery and somehow my ground was lose, so i connected it and then this problem is occurring, I do not know how to fix it..help

 

well im not sure which of the two things i did fixed it, but heres what i did:

i added a fuse to the empty #32 slot in my fuse box

changed both fuses on my add a circuit for slot #31

and disconnected both terminals on my battery for about two minutes...violla works like a charm.

this problem happened to me because i changed my battery to a yellow top(which kinda doesnt fit very well), my ground wire came loose and i found out last night when i tried to turn my car on...thx anyways guys.
