Yes make sure your brake lights/switch works.


My wife's 05 durango has done the same thing to me a couple times at home in the driveway.
I turned it off and restarted it and it was OK?

That's as far as I looked in to it on a durango, but I have replaced the interlock on chevys and ford pickups. On a chevy there's a fuse you can pull to bypass the shifter interlock, I bet there's one on a durango?
Broken chevy shifter and interlock on the left.

New shifter and used interlock on the left.
