WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the brake shift interlock override procedure to move the selector lever from the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.
This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock system that prevents moving the selector lever from the PARK position. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the brake pedal is applied, the Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) is energized.

Apply the parking brake. Turn the ignition key to the off position and remove the key.
Tilt and telescope the steering column to the full downward and rearward position.
NOTE: Make sure to use extra care when detaching the selector lever boot clips from steering column shrouds or damage to the selector lever boot may occur causing replacement of the selector lever assembly. The selector lever boot is not serviceable separately.

Position the selector lever boot aside.
1. Push forward on the selector lever boot at the area indicated and remove the boot from the upper and lower steering column shrouds.
