On the third gens the shifter won't release unless your foot is on the brake. If it is the same with the 2nd gens the sensor on the brake pedal may be broken.

Its a round push button switch which should be located directly behind the brake pedal.
I had one go out on my corolla and it was kind a expensive if I remember right.

Problem solved! The third brake light bulb had gone out, I had no idea a bad bulb would make the shifter lock up. Runners are just full of surprises,:rolleyes:

I have heard this before, but never first hand experienced it.
Have not had a rear bulb go out yet, in fact since owning my rig since Nov. of '98, I have only had a front turn signal go out on me, and that was about three weeks ago.
That is easy to tell, as the flasher in the cab will click real fast.
I guess this is a safety item Toyota does by locking up your shifter like that, but man, what if you don't carry a spare bulb?
I have spares I carry for the domes, rear, and fronts just in case one goes out while I'm truckin' down the road or trail.
