Service and repair of the brake shift interlock actuator for floor shift models requires the transmission selector lever assembly removal followed by disconnecting its electrical connector. The second step includes disconnecting the overdrive cancel button electrical connector followed by cutting the wire harness securing tie strap at the shifter base. Start servicing the brake shift interlock actuator by removing its bulb and untie harness wire strap follow by removing the two screws. Position the brake shift interlock actuator and fasten it using two screws while replacing the bulb into the housing then installing a new wire harness tie strap. Reconnect the electrical connector after attaching both the overdrive cancel button electrical connector and place a new tie strap on the wire harness before reinstalling the transmission selector lever assembly.

The floor shift shift interlock solenoid servicing process starts with removing the transmission selector lever assembly and cutting the electrical connector loose. The second step requires disconnecting the overdrive cancel button electrical connector then cutting the tie strap that fastens the wire harness at the shifter base. Begin the brake shift interlock actuator removal through the following steps: first extract the housing bulb then free the wire harness tie strap with its cuts after which detach the actuator using two screws. The installation process begins by setting the brake shift interlock actuator in position while securing it with the two screws and afterward installing the bulb inside the housing and tying the wire harness using a new strap. You must first join the electrical connection before reconnecting the overdrive cancel button electrical connection and adding more new tie straps to the wire harness as the final step in replacing the transmission selector lever assembly.

Service and repair operations for the brake shift interlock actuator on a column shift start with putting the vehicle into NEUTRAL position while it rests on a hoist. The first step of the service requires users to remove the steering wheel and lower dash panel after undoing its two screws. Start by unscrewing the screw mounting the lower steering column shroud before unfastening the two screws from the upper steering column shroud. Disconnect the Clock Spring electrical connectors while you remove the screw to push the multi-function switch upward until you can set it aside. The Clock Spring needs to be stopped from rotating by applying tape to its surface. Enabling tab release of the Clock Spring through 3 tabs lets you extract the part after removing 3 screws from both components. The electrical connector of the brake shift interlock switch needs to be disconnected followed by tab release before lowering the brake shift interlock for removal. The installation needs following the steps opposite to those used during removal.
