My boyfriend is a bit of a car nerd, but he came up with a quick fix for my 2016 sixth-gen Camaro. The other day I got into my car and could NOT get it out of park!
My Bf came over and knew that there was a lockout solenoid under the shifter boot which allows you to get the vehicle out of park by pressing a tool into a small hole on the shift towers right side toward the front of the car.
We looked up how to get the boot and trim off and it was pretty easy to find on YouTube. The shift **** just pulls off with some work, unlike one video which wanted us to remove the boot itself. Be careful, that you don't break the trim, and remember to disconnect the shift indicator light wire when pulling off the trim piece. Once the shift tower was fully accessible, he pressed the tool into the small hole which overrides the lockout relay. Using some good old fashioned Redneck Engineering, while pushing the tool into the hole locking out the shift solenoid, he took a zip tie and placed it over the solenoids rod sticking out on the right side of the shift tower, (the rod has a white plastic piece on the end) permanently keeping the dead electric solenoid locked in the shifting position!
CAUTION, with the solenoid now not working to lock my car into park - I no longer have to step on the brake to shift from park. But then I don't have to pay the dealer $180 bucks plus labor to replace the entire shift tower either! GM makes some cheap plastic parts.
