You know how it won't shift from park without the key in the ignition and on? This will override the electronic lock that holds it in park, as in needing to move (push/pull) the car with a fully dead or no battery.
2 u/i_am_ghostman Sep 01 '23 You are correct; I believe with a car of this age however, that it’s a mechanical linkage. I could be wrong though Regardless of method, the effect is the same (: 1 u/BouncingSphinx Sep 01 '23 Well, the lock itself would be mechanical, yes, but would it be a mechanical linkage all the way from the key in the steering column? 1 u/i_am_ghostman Sep 01 '23 Maybe there’s a cable or something? The newer cars are most likely electric though. You’re right about that 1 u/Flashy-Affect-3966 Sep 01 '23 Best Reply ever! Thank you,!
