08' F150 4X4 V8 66K miles, never any probs before today, came out of Lowe's and couldn't get it out of Park, then I could get it out, drove home and now can't get into Park and my keys are stuck in ignition..... any advice
thanks

 

Check to make sure the brake lights work. The interlock uses the brake light switch. Owners manual has the bypass procedure for the interlock.

 

yeah, checked that, the brake lights work.....

 

you wouldn't know the "Cliff Notes" version would you, I looked in my owners manual and couldn't find anything.....thanks again

 

Page 269 - Automatic Transmission Operation. There's also a fuse for the interlock. Fuses start on page 299.
