than your problem is elsewhere. i have been using this method for 10+months now without a single problem. your problem might be with the brake pedal solenoid. THIS FIX IS ONLY FOR THE SOLENOID IN THE CENTER CONSOLE.MazinAzn wrote:Would not recommend this, I did it and it confused the Rogue's computer. The cvt was not changing gears correctly and would start off in a low gear :S. Had to use manual to get it going, even at stop lights and stuff.
let us know how it worked out.scottb022563 wrote:sounds like your a genius I will try this fix on my wife's 06 G35 sedan. I will keep you posted.

my pleasure. i myself was in this situation, and when i heard $600+ to repair this simple issue, i knew i had to come up with a cheaper DIY.scottb022563 wrote:It worked on my wife's 06 G35 sedan as well. Thanks so much!!!

BINGO!DTASFAB wrote:simply eliminates the requirement to depress the brake to shifting out of Park?
impossible UNLESS you first pull in the shifter trigger thingyIs there any danger of accidentally shifting into reverse while cruising at 70mph?
Thanks ImStricken!ImStricken wrote:glad it fixed your issues. mine is still going strong. welcome to the forum!
This solution is like shift unlock button (small hole close to shift stick) is always in pushed position.DTASFAB wrote:Does this override the push button entirely, or does it simply eliminate the requirement to depress the brake when shifting out of Park?

One of the best features of my 1985 Toyota is that the brake pedal serves one function and one function only, which is to stop the vehicle while it's moving. Real novel concept there - that brakes would be used for braking! When I want to shift out of park, I press the button on the shifter. Simple is so much better than complicated.

Hi ImStricken06...ImStricken06 wrote:DIY: Brake Shift Interlock Solenoid FIX!
ok, yesterday i got the dreaded stuck shifter, that wouldnt come out of park. I was forced to pop that little tab, and stick my key in the hole to unlock the shifter. I got to work, and it worked fine. after work, it worked fine.
Today going to lunch, it got stuck at the gas station. again popped the tab, and used my key. pulled into a parking spot, and popped off the bezel. the system is really not that complex, so i came up with a very simple solution to the $600 problem.
Sounds like your steering wheel gets locked.Elton Noway wrote:Hi ImStricken06...ImStricken06 wrote:DIY: Brake Shift Interlock Solenoid FIX!

Always glad to read your posts. (You saved me a bundle on a brake job thanks to your tips, photos and videos )
Anyway... my searching the forum on a reoccurring problem with my 2009 SL bought me to this thread. Just wondering if my problem could be related to this switch issue being discussed.
Here's my problem, when it occur... I can't turn the ignition key, (no starting the car) also... the steering wheel is locked... and I can't shift out of park. First time this happened a year ago or so I called the dealer and a mechanic told me to jiggle the steering wheel "with some force" left and right against the steering stops while turning the key. It worked ... while pulling on the steering wheel I was able to get the key turn turn, the car started and everything was fine. This has now happened quite a few times over the last couple years. Only now the problem is occurring more frequently.
FYI: Today... it happened again. Last night I pulled the car "straight" into the garage. The steering wheel was not cocked to the left or right. This morning, with the car still in park from the night before, and my foot on the brake, (both brake lights illuminated)... I had to aggressively jiggle the steering wheel back and forth while making multiple attempts to turn the ignition switch. Finally the key turned, the car started and all was well. Any ideas what might be causing this problem?
Thanks

this doesnt sound like a brake shift interlock solenoid. this sounds like an ignition problem. this could be the steering lock going bad, this could be a key-fob issue, this could be the module that interacts with the key fob, this could be the actual 'nub' thing that you turn to start the car, etc.Anyway... my searching the forum on a reoccurring problem with my 2009 SL bought me to this thread.

I remember reading somewhere on this forum before about that, if you move the steering wheeling after turning the car off (like if you hold your steering wheel when exiting the car) it will lock it and the ignition. To "unlock" it, you have to turn the steering wheel hard on one side while turning the ignition.Elton Noway wrote:Hi ImStricken06...

Due to all the excellent advice and information offered in this forum its only fair that I should report back with the solution to my specific problem. Thanks to the insight offered by ImStricken06 ... I was able to find the solution.ImStricken06 wrote:this doesnt sound like a brake shift interlock solenoid. this sounds like an ignition problem. this could be the steering lock going bad, this could be a key-fob issue, this could be the module that interacts with the key fob, this could be the actual 'nub' thing that you turn to start the car, etc.
i had a weird issue in my car: the remote wouldnt work at times. none of the buttons, and the car wouldnt start, requiring me to use the physical key. after months of trial & error, i took a similar, but slightly fatter battery and put it into the remote. guess what - fixed the intermittent issue of the car not communicating with the remote
When your "Park Position Switch" was bad, did your Driver Information Center still show that you were in Park? I'm having this problem on my 2014 Rogue. The Driver Information Center shows I'm in park but the "Connecting Lock Lever" doesn't rotate out of the way when I press the brake. The brake lights do work. In my research and this post, it seems the 2 common failure points are either the "Park Position Switch" or the "Shift Lock Solenoid".roguewarrior12 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 7:40 amHi - I had the same issue for my 2012 Nissan Rogue. I took off all of the center console assembly and replaced this $3.00 part. Nissan wanted $1,500.00 to replace the entire shifter. Thanks to this forum I was able to figure it out following the schematics to remove the center console and matching the part to the bottom right hand side of the shifter. Thank you again to this group!
It's probably the "lever in park" switch in the CVT control module. I see this switch is available in the USA from http://www.mouser.com for $2.44. The switch is a D3M-01K3-3 made by Omron. Here in New Zealand the Nissan dealers will only sell the the whole module at $1500.00. It is easy to replace once you have exposed the control module and figured out which switch it is on the right hand side off the control module. That part of the job is too detailed to explain here. There are other causes such as the switch on the brake pedal and the solenoid but both times it has happened with me it's been this switch. Good luck.
