Shifter Stuck in Park

Hello everyone, I just bought a 1990 4 runner v6 sr5 4x4. To operate the shifter I have to use the shift override button. I have searched on the forum and what I found was to replace the brake fuse. I did this but it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Note that a "brake" fuse is not in the circuit; I assume you mean "Stop."

As with any electrical problem, you'll need a multimeter. No, there is no other way, not even to save $6. http://www.harborfreight.com/7-funct...ter-98025.html

It's the shift lock computer. It's a small black box to the left of the shift lever with 3 plugs I believe. U have to take off the plastic trim around the lever to see it. It's in a bad spot. It gets super hot where it's at!

In order for the shift interlock to disengage it needs to see a brake signal. Check to make sure the brake light switch ( down on the brake pedal) is plugged in and working, also check to see if your brake lights light up when stepping on the brake pedal.

Checked the "stop" fuse and it's good. Also replaced the brake switch. This piece under the trim is the last thing to check.
