2006 Buick Lucerne Has anyone ever replaced the shift interlock solenoid in a Buick Lucerne or do you have to buy the entire shifter?
Has anyone ever replaced the shift interlock solenoid in a Buick Lucerne or do you have to buy the entire shifter?
What is your question?
this issue began when the car blew a brake line replace the line have bled the brakes all abs and parking lights on – have left pedal seems to be firm.
I have tested the wires completely into the circuit board the shift interlock solenoid will not suck its pin in, so I have a good ground and I have all-time power and the brake pedal activates the test light when pressed desert wire. I then used jumper wires and by pass the factory harness and it is still not working to me that confirms a solenoid is no good?
The shift solenoid appears to be riveted or pressed into the shifting housing local parts dealers direct me to a Chevy dealer Chevy dealer informed me you have to buy the entire shifter for 500 plus dollars any other alternatives other than used?
What makes this problem better or worse?

How long has your 2006 Buick Lucerne had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Buick Lucerne. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Do you have a floor shifter or column shifter?
Either way according to the workshop manual you can replace the shift lever interlock mechanism alone.
That said, you may not be able to source the part on its own anymore for a 15 year old vehicle.
I would also tell you that it would be highly unusual for the shift lever interlock mechanism to fail and far more common for the signal to be inappropriate. Add to that the story you shared about brake system issues and I'm more concerned that your testing theories may be off rather than a faulty mechanism being present. So, I'd recommend referring to a workshop manual and wiring diagram to really see what's going on and why.
