Having just returned from a trout fishing trip covering some reasonable rough forrest tracks, heavily corrigated, my 97 Explorer auto decided to refuses to release the gear shift from park with the foot on the brake pedal. If I turn off the ignition and set the key to the first position, I can select neutral ok and restart and then move off. I've also noticed that the foot brake is not disengaging the cruise control unless you give it a fairly swift stomp (no the cruise control wasn't on over the rough tracks - I like my conforts but that would be taking things too far). I'm guessing the two event are related and may have something to do with some brake sensor having got rattled? Low 4X4 doesn't want to work either? Sorry if this sounds like a shopping list of faults. Anyone kindly have any advise please?
