Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

I have a 2013 Ford Edge SEL FWD, suv drove fine wife parked it an hrs later went to move it and it would not crank over, it has a fully charged battery, some forums suggested replace brake light switch and it still did the same, I removed lil side panel on driver side of shifter and released the shifter selector, re put it back in park and now it turns on but it still will not move on its own out of park, also when I manually release the shifter with the SUV turn on it will not grab reveres and neutral only drive in all the gears. any help would be greatly appreciated
