I just replaced a simple blinker bulb and now my car wont shift out of Park (believe it or not). Would anyone know what it could be? Thanks... :crazy2:

you just voided your warranty by "modifying" the bulb!

well after some good sleep, I found out that the tail light fuse blew out. With that replaced, I was now able to shift out of Park into R, D1 & so on.....

typical safety measure

at least you didn't have to replace any blinker fluid

i dont get it, why would the tail light fuse control whether or not u can shift out of park? what happens if it blows out in the middle of nowhere...?

Then you replace the fuse in the middle of nowhere?.....could be a grounding issue which caused the light/fuse failure, good time to have the dealer check it out under warrantee. Thanks for posting it, I have the same model/trans...

well i mean...you have to carry spare fuses with you then?

I guess my point is, I didn't know this was an issue, and for someone else who doesnt know this is an issue, they wouldnt be carrying spare fuses. I have a gsr so I guess I wont have this problem, but just sayin.
