Does this stove have an interlock. - Cars & Trucks

The best way to access the interlock is to remove the sliding door. This can be done by removing the screws that hold the door in place and then lifting the door off the track. Once the door is removed, you should be able to access the interlock and determine what is causing the issue. If the interlock is damaged, you may need to replace it.

Does it have floor shifter ? Shift interlock system .

Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The shift interlock system consists of a shift lock actuator mounted on the selector lever. If the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the shift lock actuator is disabled when the brake pedal is depressed.
If the selector lever will not move out of PARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal depressed, it will need to be unlocked manually.
Do the brake lights work ?
Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage; refer to the following chart:

Do you have floor console shifter ?
Shift Interlock System A brake/shifter interlock system consists of the following:

• ignition switch (11572)
• brake pedal stoplight switch (13480)
• brake shift interlock module
• brake shift interlock solenoid assembly (attached to key interlock assembly)
• necessary wiring

On floor-shift vehicles, the ignition/shifter interlock cable (3F719):

• locks the floor shift transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
• requires the floor shift transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

I'm assuming you have a no-crank condition. check interlock relay and safety interlock. Safety interlock is on shifter if you have automatic. It's on the clutch pedal arm if you have manual. Interlock relay should be in engine compartment relay box. You can bypass both of these and the ignition switch by jumping the solenoid. See troubleshooting procedures here: http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5821173-doesnt_car_start_gasoline_engines
and let me know if you have questions.

Could be the Shift interlock solenoid or the shift interlock circuit ( or the fuse for it )
The shift interlock is on the same switch as the Brake Pedal Position switch, it is on the side of the brake pedal, usually has a yellow c-clip retainer on it.

Start by checking the fuse with a meter for power on both pins on the back of the fuse. The fuse is #16.

If the fuse has power on both sides, next check for power at the shift interlock circuit on the switch on the brake pedal.
The circuit is Fuse #16 to a Tan w/ Red stripe wire to the shift interlock switch to a pink w/ light green stripe wire. When the brake pedal is pushed down power should be on both sides of the switch.

If you have power to both sides, I would say the shift interlock solenoid is the issue ( located : steering wheel column ).
If this is a flow through console, the shift interlock circuit also feeds the floor shifter.

try replacing the neutral safety switch.

Brake lights working, then the Shifter interlock soleniod is stuck or burt out, also the release for the interlock is on right side of console, remove plug, and depress the pin, the cable can off the release to, or bamaged interlock. The interlock recieves 12 volts from brake circuit, can be tested at the soleniod. GOOD LUCK. RDJRP

You need to check the break transmission interlock switch located on the gear shifter. There is a two wire connector on the interlock one side is ground the other side is power -- make sure you have power and ground to the interlock -- if ok; replace interlock...if no power or ground check circuit continuity.

CHECK AND VERIFY YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS RE WORKING, IF THEY ARE NOT THE PARK SAFETY INTERLOCK WILL NOT GET ANY POWER AND THE SHIFTER WILL BE LOCKED OUT.
