Hello
I encountered an issue with my Jeep Liberty skyslider when I came back after almost two months. It started well but I wasn't able to move the shifter out of park. I used same technic as last year: force a little bit :-/
I was able to go in reverse, but unable to then move in Drive position. Even Neutral was hard to hit. So I put back the lever to Park mode (still with force) and stopped the engine. Now is starting the problem: my Jeep is in Neutral on the gearbox side as I am able to push it freely, but the dashboard light sees the transmission in Reverse mode so I can no longer start the car.
I checked my rear stop lights and they are working while pressing the pedal, I checked the transmission oil level motor not running so not sure it is a good test, I remove the gear shifter (and broke a piece while removing it so I know I have to buy a new one :-/ ) ...
I tried to move the shift cable manually but nothing is moving. I didnt went under the car to ensure there is no wild dead animal blocking the shift cable.
Question: what can cause this issue where I cannot go from park to reverse to drive and back ? could it be just a sensor or any kind of valve ? (I am a french guy living in Canada and find easier to work on manual gear box than automatic ones. )
Thank you for your response. Good day.
