    When you pull them and go under the cowl. there's a little tab that the parking piece hits to determine where park is. If your piece is bent (common over time) then this can happen. Another common cause is for the module attached to the motor to get wet as water/ice gets in there and can mess up the module.

    My fix was to first try the parking adjustment. Didn't happen to be my issue. Then I picked up a motor/module assembly from the JY for $30
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I had the parking tab issue twice. Simple fix once the cowl is removed.

    Had a mechanic tell me it was the motor and they wanted more than $100 for the repair if i remember correctly.
