    My 2000 gtp will not shift out of park. When I press the brake pedal and try to change gears it will not shift and I hear a buzzing noise above my legs under the dash.

    I looked through this thread a bit but I didn't see anyone mention hearing the buzzing noise. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...-stuck-in-park

    I plan on checking out the wiring harness. I just wasn't sure if the buzzing might point to something different.

    thanks

    I had the same thing happen to my GP a couple of years ago. It was a couple of broken wires from the wiring jacket that plugs into the shift solenoid. I cut all the wires and soldered some extensions on all the wires then wrapped it all up w/electrical tape. The wiring jacket has a big bend before it plugs into the solenoid and that's where the wires break.

    I went out and looked at it for a bit but it is a bit too cold outside.

    I took a short video of the sound i am hearing when i press the shift button in.

    Probably a broken wire at the BTSI switch harness at the base of the shifter.

    I had a similar issue but my shifter button stayed pressed in. I replaced the shifter handle and have had no issues since.
