L322 Stuck in Park

[Earlofdon76]

Following on from my last post, I finally managed to pop the bonnet and charge the battery.
The TD6 now starts again.

Just one problem, the dam thing is stuck in park. I’ve removed the boot from the shift and pulled the lever on the side but the shift won’t move.
The brake switch is working fine so it’s not that.

Any ideas folks before I scream?

Is the parking pawl moving in the transmission? If that's stuck then you won't move the lever

Does the pin of the interlock solenoid definitely get pulled into the solenoid when you put your foot on the brake? Is that what you mean when you say the brake switch is working fine?

It may have started but low battery volts can still cause this issue

I’m not well enough to lift out that massive battery in order to charge it up. How long will it take to charge with the engine running?

All sorted as managed to pull up the override lever at last.

For ever. You can charge the battery in situe. If you have a 13 pin or twin 7 pin sockets, the battery can be charged via the 7S or the equivalent pins on the 13 pin socket.

I’ve got twin 7 pin sockets.
How can I charge via the 7S?
Also, if I have a flat battery, can I connect a jump pack to the 7S in order to unlock the vehicle?
In my case I’ll have to remove the isolator switch which is a pain anyway but if I could open the door this way that would be great.

I'll post connection details this evening when I fire up my office computer. You should be able to connect a jump pack but if the main battery is flat it may blow the fuse in the circuit, worth a try though.

Best sort the battery drain. Otherwise depending on sunshine at you local area, get a solar panel, or one of these Noco Genius chargers. I could not get enough sun due to local trees, but that Noco kept my Blue P38 batterys until I fixed the drain problem.
