This happened once to my van. There is a pin inside the transmission that locks the wheels when the shifter is in "Park". That pin had broken off and was bouncing around inside the transmission and eventually jammed it so that the shifter was stuck in "Drive". I had the get my transmission rebuilt. I hope yours is a simpler problem. Perhaps there is a simple problem with the linkage between the steering column and the outside of the transmission.

What fuse to look for in 2006 Chrysler 300 touring if gear is stuck?
The most common cause of the shifter to be stuck in park is a broken spring retainer in the shifter assembly. The only fuse that could cause that would be the brake lights fuse. If you have brake lights, it is not a fuse problem.
What sensor would cause your 1994 SHO not t come out of park?
Check the switch on the brake pedal that allows the transmission shifter to move into gear. If this switch/cable is broken the shifter doesn't know the brake is pressed so it will not allow shifter to move. It is a safety feature... a good one too.
What would cause your shifter to become loose and not lock into any gear on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler?
It may just be a screw came loose underneath your gear shifter. That is what happened to me. Just slide the stuff up to the top of your gear shifter and look underneath. If one of the bolts is udone, just simple put it back on.
What would cause the transfer case shifter to not shiftto any gear?
There is a part called the Shifter Sheet by Suzuki. This rubber part sits below the shifter ball in the top of the t-case. When it dries up and crumbles away the t-case shifter can get stuck. A new part is only a few dollars and is easy to replace. If you have this issue, you also probably have a sloppy shifting 5 speed transmission. A new "shifter bolt" will fix this issue.
What would cause the fuel pump fuse to blow on a Saturn when the key is turned on?
Fuel pump is locked up. Replace it.
Why would the ignition switch be locked on my Dodge Grand Caravan?
Make sure the shifter handle is fully engaged in park. On my '92 caravan, I have to push the shifter up and forward again after putting it in park, to make sure it's fully in park. My ignition switch won't turn off all the way or door locks work until I do that. Also, you might have a loose shifter mechanism...jiggle it while turning the ignition switch at the same time.
What would cause a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee not to start?
Check the neutral safety switch on the shifter. If you place the shifter into neutral or push the shifter harder into the park position, this may change the switch position to allow it to start. There is a recall on the grand Cherokees for this switch.AnswerCheck the battery, i had the same problem once and it turned out to be one of the cells in my battery had gone bad
What would cause a 91 capri to have lost spring tension in the side to side motion of the shifter?
Your shifter assembly is just shot. Happens to most older ford/mercury shifters. There is a shifter rebuild kit available online...usually Ebay, that sells for about $85 that will fix it. It comes with a new link, some plastic and rubber bushings etc. and can be easily installed from under the car. Look for a shifter rebuild kit. To prevent this from hapening again DO NOT DRIVE with your hand ON THE SHIFTER! Use it only to shift!
