1994 Jeep Cheroke won't shift out of park
I saw some other messages that suggested that there might be a solenoid
that is bad. This has happened to the previous owner when I bought the
car, and he was able to jiggle the shifter or something and it worked ...
until now. Is this something that is easy to fix? I borrowed a manual
from the library but returned it a few days ago.

This is a common problem, my 96 GC also had it. The way to avoid it is
to apply the parking brake before putting it in park. This avoids
putting load on the park mechanism.

Re: 1994 Jeep Cheroke won't shift out of park
YOu will see you stopped the vehicle hard up against a curb. You
may have to jack up a rear tire to take to load of the transmission
parking cog. In the future put in park before you crash into the curb.

Re: 1994 Jeep Cheroke won't shift out of park
Couple other items. The ignition switch has a park lock that keeps from
shifting out of park if the ignition switch is not in off, run, or
start. The ignition interlock tang at your switch could be extremely
worn or the cable at the transmission could be out of adjustment.
