🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — details like the exact override location may vary by trim; verify visually before prying anything.
⚠️ Chock the wheels first — neutral means the car can roll. Set the parking brake while you work, never stand downhill of the vehicle, and try a 12-volt jump before any override: power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly.
The procedure
- Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and engage the parking brake
- Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON position if battery has minimal charge
- Locate the shift-lock override release, typically found on the shifter console near the base of the lever
- Look for a small rectangular or circular cap/cover near the shifter boot or on the console side
- Pry off the cap using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool
- Insert a small screwdriver or key into the override slot and press down
- While holding the override down and pressing the brake pedal, move the shifter to Neutral
- If completely without power, maintain pressure on the override while shifting
Shift-lock override location
Console area near the shifter base, usually under a small cap; consult owner's manual for exact position on your specific trim
With zero electrical power
Without electrical power, the mechanical override remains functional. Insert tool into override slot, press firmly, and move the shifter to Neutral. The mechanical release bypasses the electronic shift-lock entirely.
