AND, the speedo cluster thing ALL doesnt work at all.
and neither does my clock...
please would somebody help me i need to fix this ASAP!!

i had the same problem but its not stuck mine is just hard as hell to shift....what i do is i step on the brake really hard and push down on the shifter and move it

[stelvio]

no thats not the problem...like i cant shift at all.
i am soooooo desperate for something..
i think its something electrical. i checked all my fuses though =/

ps. ya mine's sticky too.

shift interlock?

[ErwinM619]

you might wanna check for brake light switch underneath the dash board maybe you have a loose wire there somewhere.

put ur key in the igition and get a thin flat head and put it in the hole on the shifter then start urcar and pust down on the flat head and pull the stick back

Put ur key into the "shift release".

Place the car in neutral. Put your key in the ignition, start the car, then put it into drive. Voila!

Ghetto I know, but at least you can drive it.

Now to address the electrical problem. If you chekced both fuse boxes under the hood and near the footwell, it could also be a faulty ignition.

If the key turns and you got nothing, if your signal flashers don't work when the key is turned thats another tell.

If, the horn works and headlights work then it might just be that. Try it and check back in.

[stelvio]

ok the signals work and so do the headlights.
the signals work in the cluster too.
the rear defogger doesnt work.

i think i might have made a short at the clock...i've had this problem since then.
i've looked though the wiring diagrams and such but they're incredibly confusing...

i think its just a fuse or something that is in line with the clock

[stelvio]

anybody? =/

[Mayhem Tripp Robinson]

[stelvio]

WORKS:
~ signals (they show in cluster too)
~ headlights
~ horn
~ cigarette lighter (if that matters)

DOESNT WORK:
~ cluster (tacho, odometer, speedo, etc)
- no CEL/DRL/etc.
- no lights showing what doors are open and so on
- no engine temperature
~ clock
~ rear defogger
~ CAN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR

**i made a short at the clock...i think i touched the white/yellow wire and the white one or something like that (not the ground)...so the wire that goes to the EG1 w/e that is =/

Did you check fuses?
