Nissan Stuck in Park Shift Lock Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2020
- Apparently, a common issue with Nissan Sentra, Altimas, and similar of the 2012-2015 vintage. This video shows what it took me to repair this issue on a 2014 Nissan Altima. It is a pretty simple DIY repair that only requires a couple tools to do... phillips head screwdriver, needle nose pliers, 10mm socket. If you have a trim/panel removal set, great, but not necessary if you have a clean flat head screwdriver to remove the trim and interior panels.
Thank you to Yen Estelles for his video that helped boost my confidence on this one...

Thanx for the vid. Just fixed a customers car with this issue. By the way, anyone needs this done, you can remove the two front center control screws with a stubby screwdriver instead of trying to disassemble or brake the moldings.
I appreciate you for the time and putting this video together. I feel more informed and confident of taking this task of fixing the altima. May not have been easy to figure things out for you but I learned a bit. Thanks again!
I am having this same issue. It just started last week. Thank you for this video which explains my problem. Now I have to find a mechanic that can assist me with this adjustment.
Hey Joss, glad to see your vdo! I can relate to you when you said at 7.40 minutes that a lot mechanical effort nissan had put into how to lock that bit in!!! I'm sweating by now haha
thank you for doing the lords work 🙌
couple of pointers for those who are watching this video:
1) those things you are calling a "relay" are actually just micro switches. The one you pointed out on the top is not the issue with these designs
2) The thing that releases the interlock is called a solenoid. It only functions when you have your foot on the brake and the micro switch at the BOTTOM of the shifter tower is depressed. This is the faulty switch, not the one on top.
3) The switch at the bottom is probably working just fine, what happens is that the metal tang thats attached to the switch bends from use over time, and no longer depresses the switch. To remedy this, all you have to do is remove the switch at the bottom and bend the metal tab up so that when the shifter is in park, it actually depresses the switch properly. You can use a meter to verify that its working, but you can also hear the click audibly when its working correctly. Once you have it all back together you can see how the shifter functions once the car is powered on and the brake is pressed. Hope that helps.
**EDIT TO ANYONE INTERESTED: The switch was still bad in my case. It became evident after adjusting the Tang twice. All I was doing was delaying the inevitable. The main issue with the micro switch is that the current in the circuit is too close to the amperage rating of the switch. The plating will eventually fail in the area that actually makes contact upon operation. There is no fixing this. Once the plating starts to wear - it will fail permanently in a matter of time. The permanent fix is to replace the switch with one that has a higher amperage rating. The switch will be exactly the same size - but it will have a thicker plating/contacts to handle the higher amperage. You can go on mouser or digikey and find replacement micro switches. Just find one with the same size and Voltage rating with a higher amperage rating.
Hey u think u can help fix mines on my wife car.. I just need to know wat to take off and wat to fix.. thanks in advance
"Tang" was the word I was searching for and failing to come up with. Thanks for the fine tuning of the explanation for anyone watching, proving again the self-correcting wiki-like nature of video postings like mine.
Thanks for the video. My Nissan just starting to act up randomly. Explains what is happening and what I need to look for.
Maaaaan thank you so much!!!!!!! You just saved me so much money! I appreciate your time and efforts. God bless you. 🙌🏽
I’m a Nissan tech the rectangle thing you had on the back side of the center console is the key fob antenna.
Not the nats immobilized anteanna that’s around the push button but the antenna to unlock and lock the doors
Bro thanks a lot for this video my wife car (Nissan Altima 2013) is experiencing same issue, once again thank you, God bless
You sir are a life savor! Thankyou so much
Awesome!! I have same issue now I can fix it myself and save $$$ Thanks again GREAT JOB!!
Thanks alot for this i been dealing with this bs for 2 weeks lol also i didnt have to take entire center console out i just took the center part with the cup holder coin holder and gear shift part no need to remove the whole housing you save 20 mins doing it also it took me 10 mins to do thanks alot!!
Hey Ricardo can u tell me wat u actually did so I can do it on my wife car cause we having this same problem...
Good idea, I just did mines again, the bending up lasted for a couple of months and I ended up buy a new one for about $11 bucks
Not that model you have to take the housing off
Ok so there isn't an actual Nissan oem part number for that switch? I see them on Amazon all day for my 2014 but i tried to search for park reverse control switch, park lock switch and just about anything even close for this year and i could only find the entire shift assembly for sale... I'm not paying $699 for it when i just need the metal arm click part lol. Do you happen to have a part number for that repair part?
I can't believe I came across your video I looked everywhere for this problem I eventually went to reckers and dismantle one mine was the little accurator I see you pointed out at the bottom rapped in blue tape with the little piston when you put your foot on the brake current magnetic pulls piston and release plastic tang took me 2hrs cost $5 fixed 05 X-Trail Nissan.
I took the simpler route. I pulled out the shift lock cover and put thin strips of rigid plastic in the small shit lock cover and pushed the cover back down. It took a couple tries to get the length correct but it saves me from taking the console apart. Granted I no longer have a shift interlock mechanism that prevents me from shifting without hitting the brake but it’s a much simpler “fix.” Since it’s just me and my wife that drives the car I’m not worried about it, plus you still have to push the button on the shifter to pull it out of park
Smart!! I'm trying that tomorrow morning!!
interesting. Do you know roughly the size you ended up needing? I'm having the same problem, even though it's not doing it constantly. About once every 20 times.
Can u explain what u mean by shift lock cover? Is it small hole where you shove a screwdriver down to release the shifter?
Thank you for this video , I am having this same issue 👍🏻
gr8 vid. Ihave a 2001 maxima, which is stuck in park. initially it was the break light switch, as the break lights didnot work. So replaced that switch , Then it all worked then it stopped working again, but this time break lights still work. I suspect it could be this or a fuse/relay. the shifter lock kind of looks similar to this setup but might be slightly different.
Sweet video your the man😉👌
Thanks man, problem solved.......this and the rear proximity sensor for the remote d9ne in 30 min
I have a question related to this what could be the problem for the shifter to slip out of drive when you press too hard on the gas , I feel like it just doesn’t stay locked in drive
I took the pigtail off the back of the switch that acts up and put a wire between the wires on the pigtail connecting them all the time in case the switch fails. The wires that activate the switch are always connected now so it will always work.
How did u do it so I can do my wife car like that...I'm haven't the same problem with her car
How long did your bending metal fix last?
Good information
That part in the rear plastic is the antenna for the keyless entry sistem..extremely important not to bang it..!!
Which one is it? because my key is not working anymore
@@fadymikhael4024 first try replacing the key fob battery first...!!
I did replace the battery but after i fixed the shifting problem I started having an incorrect id error
@@fadymikhael4024 well...maybe you need to disassemble all again and check that all wires and harnesses are not trapped by plastic panels amd stuff....then, when you reassemble check the key antenna module for a proper connection, the antenna is that you can see in this video at 1:45
Thank you I will try to do that I appreciate it!!
thanks for sharing
At about 5:06 what is the name of that particular part? Can someone tell me please tell me, I'm searching for that particular part for my vehicle. Thanks in advance 🤙
