A lot of Mazda' s will do that. It has nothing to do with the brake. You need to crack the wheel. What I mean by that is to pull the stering wheel hard left, then hard right until the shifter unlocks. Some times this can takes some time but its the only way to free up the shifter. My self and my son between us have had 6 Mazda's and at any given time one of them has been stuck in neutral. The first day I picked up my new Mazda truck it did it, I called the dealer in a panic, he told me to do this (in 1989) and it has never failed. I love my Mazda.

What and where is the PNP switch on your 99 Toyota Corolla?

The pnp switch is short for Park/Neutral Switch. Its pretty much the middle man between the ignition switch and the starter. It only allows the current from the ignition switch to reach the starter if the vehicle is in park or neutral. Its usually connected to the shifter. Allow me to correct myself on the first answer. If the shifter is on the column it will be located in the column region. If shifters on the floor its under the vehicle and connected to the shifter.

The auto stick transmission you are speaking of still shifts like a manual. The gears are moved around slightly so check your ash tray for the shifting patern. start the vehicle in neutral with your foot on the brake slide the shifter into low and let go of the shifter. when you release you should feel the clutch slightly engage. Release the brake and slowly step on the gas and your off. You can shift into the higher gears simply by letting off the gas and moving the shifter to the desired point.


2000 jeep grand Cherokee shifts to neutral when turning left?

You should check on the recalls for your specific vehicle and/or call Daimler Chrysler. There were recalls on the shifter, but I do not recall what year(s). Once you find that out, your nearest Jeep dealer will replace the shifter at no charge. This issue was dealing with the shifter popping out of gear when parked OR when driving. Good Luck!
