The selector lever lock solenoid is part of the
selector lever. Consequences of signal failure:
If the signal from the
stoplamp switch is missing
or the ground connection is interrupted, then
the selector lever can no longer be moved out
of the position

The selector lever lock can be manually released
by removing the cover and pressing a suitable
object into the opening on the selector lever until
the selector lever can be moved out of the position
