I had the plastic covers off my centre consol this arvo trying to find why i had no voltage to my power socket when I noticed this cable disconnected from my gear selector. I traced it back and it goes to my ignition switch. Any ideas what it is, I don't think i did it when i pulled the cover off so it must have been like this since new.

Something tells me that's part of the shift lock mechanism. Here's how it's supposed to work:

Initial conditions: vehicle in park, ignition off, brake pedal untouched.

1) Press button on side of shift lever and move lever - no success
2) Press brake and attempt 1) - no success
3) Turn on ignition, press brake, repeat 1 - success
4) Place vehicle in reverse, turn ignition off and try to remove key - fail

It's 4) that should work differently in yours.
 
Thanks Tony, tried your test this morning. I can take my key out any time i like so thats what it must be. No big deal. Must have been like that since new. Have to get back in there anyway as I still have to find out why I have no power to my power socket. Cheers mate.
