When I replaced the turn signal switch, I disconnected the
cable from the shifter to the steering lock at the wheel.
Surprizingly, the stealership didn't reconnect it when they
were in there. They must have figured I wanted it that way.

Re: 2003 Rubicon
The lady's ex-husband came over and pushed extremely hard on the brake pedal
and got the "park" button to engage. Would anyone think this would be a
defective or dirty switch on the brake pedal?
Thanks in advance.

Re: 2003 Rubicon
There is a cable called the "brake transmission shift interlock cable" that
prevents the transmission from being shifted out of park unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
Here are the adjustment procedures straight from the '06 Wrangler Service
Manual:
1. Shift transmission into PARK
2. Remove shift lever bezel and console screws. Raise bezel and console for
access to cable.
3. Pull cable lock button up to release cable.
4. Use a spacer to create a one millimeter gap between the shifter pawl and
top of the shift gate.
6. Pull the cable forward and release. Ensure the cable end is seated in the
bellcrank and press cable lock button down until it snaps into place.
I have not done this myself, but am just telling you what the Service Manual
says.
It seems that if it's a 2003, it should still be under warranty, so this
would be a free adjustment at the dealer.
