Stuck in Park
96 4.0 Ranger Automatic. Installed shell to load truck for a week out of town fishing. Went to put truck in gear and it wouldn't go out of park. Had it flatbedded to my mechanic who diagnosed a blown brake light fuse. New fuse and back on the road.Fuse blew when I wired the shell. Too weird.

Is this a problem anyone else has had? A guy I work with was telling a story from last weekend about his 96 4.0 Mazda truck and it turns out this was his problem. I have a 2004 4.0 Ranger and just wonder if this is a troubleshooting idea that I need to keep in my back pocket while I am towing stuff.

my truck is having this problem. it seemed to only start when it got cold. the day i bought it and the day or two after, it was shifting fine. now it will get stuck in park if it sits too long in the cold. if the truck is warm (like after i park it driving back to the office from lunch), it will shift fine. I also found it helps to get it out of park sometimes by applying the brake and also the accelerator lightly, then it will come out. does this sound like maybe the fuse is going bad? if so, i will love all of you if it fixes my problem :)

Help!
How did you unhook your solenoid? & where exactly is it? I have the same problem but can't find the solenoid...
