I worked at a local place that sold RV trailers, installed truck
     accessories and rented utility trailers. I argued with him numerous
     times about inspecting trailers when they came back from rental to
     ensure they were good to go next time. He wanted to not put out the
     money until he knew he would have income from it. Once he took a
     week off and we went through the trailers. The next bunch of rentals
     went well as just hook up and verify lights. One vehicle the truck
     wiring was screwed up. Anyway that business may go broke over the
     winter due to passing off too many customers.

     We have been delayed yet another day. We are not scheduled to tow it
     up until Thursday the 6th.


     Dale, can you find something out about that Ram ProMaster 1500 stuck
     in park problem? I'll send some pictures later this morning.

   Paul,

   Not sure if this applies to your stuck in park problem, but I have seen
   on several different makes of vehicle the inability to get out of park
   because the driver rarely set the parking brake which left the vehicles
   weight on the pin that locks the transmission in park. Eventually the
   hole gets elongated or ovalized and begins to stick. I've seen some
   where if you rocked the vehicle while someone tried to shift you could
   get it out and others that required a tow truck to pull the weight off
   the pin. It's generally more difficult if the vehicle is on a slope.

   Cheers

   Thanks Rob.

   We tried that. No luck.

   This green lever supposedly gets you into reverse.

Paul,
It may be related to the trailer plug electrical issues. You require a brake pedal activated circuit to unlock a gate to allow movement out of park position in many auto transmission vehicals. You should hear a click when brake pedal depressed (key on, engine off).

I went to the dealer this morning and I had to show them the Green Lever.
The instrument panel is un-plugged for some strange reason now.
No tach MPH or gallons.

I think it is definitely the brake switch problem we caused by connecting
the trailer brake controller.

I tried to buy a shop manual in the parts department. They are no longer
printed and the mechanics use a smart phone or notebook computer
to access it. They would not let me access it or download it.
It is a really bad dealership!! It is called Crown Dodge in Ventura.
