Thread: Shifter electrical problem

i've got an annoying problem...
first of all, I cant shift out of park unless i use the manual release.
the "PRND321" lights on the dash do not come on, however, if i turn the key just a little, the P light flickers. I know the solenoid in the shifter is getting power, i can hear it click when i turn the key off.
I just replaced the ignition switch, but the problem is still there.
I'm thinking theres a short somewhere
has anyone had this problem and can anyone help?

May want to pull the console top and see if the 2 wires leading to the switch are broken.

Checked that, wires look good

how bout the btsi fuse
