How To Get Your Car Out Of Park If Your Battery is Dead

Stuck shifter

In this video I’ll show you how to get your car out of park if your battery’s dead or if the shifter cable is broken. I’m working on a 2015 Ford escape and it’s actually stuck in reverse you cannot put it in park and you cannot move the shifter from park also the car won’t start because it’s stuck in reverse. What we found is a broken shifter cable but I was able to shift the car out of park by releasing the lock mechanism underneath the shifter. You can do this on just about every vehicle but they are all different.
