Interlock Cable
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Geo Tracker and 1993 Geo Tracker. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Interlock system will not allow gearshift to move from Park unless ignition is turned on. It also prevents ignition key removal unless gearshift is in Park.
- Remove center console cover and manual selector cover. Place gearshift in Park. Loosen interlock cable bolt. Rotate key release plate and insert a small screwdriver into hole in lower key release plate. Retaining spring will move interlock cable bracket into position. Tighten interlock cable bolt to 115 INCH lbs. (13 N.m). See Fig 1 .
- Ensure ignition switch operates from ACC to LOCK position and ignition key can be removed when gearshift is in Park. Move transaxle gearshift lever to any other position. Ensure ignition switch cannot be turned from ACC to LOCK position. If ignition switch will turn, readjust interlock cable.
