There's neighbor's Ford car I'm attempting to help push out a driveway?
~but the BATTERY IS DEAD and will not shift out of park with the key in and brake depressed. There's also a 'Interlock IID anti-DUI breath reader' installed, but feel this is NOT keeping the vehicle from being able to shift out of park, am I right? Is this just and electrical issue? Perhaps a fuse?
It's an electrical issue. With the battery dead the brake interlock for the shifter won't let go.
Check the owner's manual if you can for a shift interlock bypass, or look for a slot near the base of the shift lever. If you find a slot any key or other blade device pushed into it will release the shifter.

IF that is an issue, the answer is EXTREMELY easy. Its called jumper cables. You don't even have to try to start the engine. You just have to supply enough power for the brake/shift interlock to operate.
There should be an override push switch, usually has a small cover on it. OR, jump it.
The Park lock is not electrically operated, it is manual and neither of those things should effect your taking it out of gear. Did you try turning the steering wheel after the key is tuned on?
- My 216/60R16 tire blew and my neighbor offered me 205/60R16, will they fit? My tire blew on my 02 ford taurus, and my neighbor came to take a look at it and said that he has 205/60R16's in storage and he will give me all 4 winter tires for 100$ if they will fit my car. Can they be fit onto my car? Please help as soon as possible he's waiting for an answer.
- My overall impression of the Kavanaugh hearing was politicians on both sides making candidate speeches for re-election and attempting to? Sound sympathetic and outraged for various reasons. It was phony, sounded like lectures, and fake concern for either Kavanaugh or Ford. Just speeches. What say you?
- My neighbor towed my car with his truck. Is that legal? I live in a town home complex and I parked in the visitors parking lot for a couple of hours and my neighbor decided to take out his black monster truck and tow my car himself. Is that legal? The truck is a typical black ford monster truck. Any info would be greatly appreciated. It just doesn't seem right, can any civilian use their truck as a towing service?
