05 tacoma stuck in park?not a fuse!

So my 05 tacoma automatic 4x4 is stuck in park and even the emergency release button next to the shifter will not function. So i can't even get it to go into neutral. I have checked the brake lights they all work as they should. Checked over all the fuses. They all appear good. It started right up went into gear, reverse every thing. Then when i stopped for a minute and put it into park now its stuck. any ideas taco heads?

 

Its stuck on a dirt trail so i can't have a tow truck just come and tow it. I have to fix it or I'm screwed. Its been stuck for a week already and I'm out of ideas. The only thing i can think of is to just force it into neutral and see if it will then go into drive. So i could drive it to the shop. Does anyone know if i will damage it further if i force the gear shifter? Or if that would even work?

 

Edit: Sorry man, just re-read your post, didn't see that you already tried the button.

 

Replace Ign 1&2 fuses. There have been instances in here where the fuses looked good but weren't.
Edit: didnt catch the part about bypass not working.

 

Shift interlock solenoid

 

maybe disconnect the battery and then reconnect. it might reset something that trip.
shitty spot to have to leave your truck

 

I tried to disconnect and reconnect the battery . Waited 5 minutes before reconnect. No change.

 

Do the tires roll or move at all when in park?

 

another way to get it into "neutral" disconnect the driveline from the rear axle, see if someone in your area can help you get it off the trail.
What part of Nor-Cal?

 

No the tires will not roll. I already dragged it like 30 feet with an truck. They definitely do not roll

 

Pull off the rear driveshaft to get to the trailhead at least.

 

I don't know about disconnect the drive line from rear . Any pics ? A guy at my local garage was saying something about disconnect the linkage from tranny under the truck and then go into neutral and drive. Is this what u mean? Or something else. Not sure if i got that right

 

I mean literally remove the driveshaft, the long cylindrical thing that goes from the transfercase or transmission to the rear axle. Should be 4 bolts at each connection and a couple holding the carrier bearing I think.

 

He is saying remove the driveshaft completely and get a truck to tow you out

 

Here is a pic, there are 4 bolts that hold the driveshaft to the rear axle. Remove these 4 bolts and hang the driveshaft with rope or something, i think they're 14mm. This will disconnect the rear axle from the transmission and allow it to Roll, so someone can pull you out.

 

What about just forcing it . Brut force? Or disconnect the shifting cable under the truck like the mechanic was talking about .? Woild this work as well? Im just not much of a mechanic most i can do it jumpstart a car usually. Im afraid with a axle I'd make it worse.

 

Other shit sounds harder than pulling the shaft

 

Maybe post up in the regional discussion, someone can help you out bro.

 

The shift interlock solenoid sounds like my problem from my reading. Lets start there. Any help on how to fix/repair/replacemen?
