What is your question?
I cannot move my Mer- Benz out of my driveway. It is stuck in park. How do I get it from being stuck. There must be some kind of computer lock on my car. I would like to fix it myself any suggestions on what is needed?

Unless you want to replace perfectly good and unnecessary parts, I'd strongly suggest to get it to a MB specialty shop. This condition could be caused by quite few different reasons - and to test components it will required a diagnostic computer like SDS. The only thing is that you can do is to check if the brake lights are working. On some MB you can remove the gear selector boot and manually move a lever so you can shift it in gear so you can drive it to a shop. Zee
Just my luck I made this $1200+ repair last month @ MB of LB -- parts required were the Shifter, Pin, and Lock. Removel and replacement are made inside the car. It did not look hard for a DIY, I was going to do it myself; however, I was not sure the shifter replacement was the answer. And I would not have not been prepared/aware of the lock and the pin replace. Hope you can diy and save - good luck
Same problem here. Stuck in park. Sent to mbz dealer. They could not find a problem. Now in my drive and locked. Tried to remove shifter knob, but no success. The car is a 2001 s430. does anyoneknow if the knob has a screw or allen wrench lock?
