2014 Ram 2500 CTD. Push button starter.
The last few days, it has been cold outside. I will remote start the truck, about 5-10 minutes before walking out. I get in the truck, push the start button, give everything a minute to load, then push the brake to shift out of park.
When pulling the lever out of park, it has been sticking, but only when it is cold. I park my truck inside my garage at night, and have not had any problems leaving from my house, only when leaving from my office.
That is only part 1, while playing with this, I put it in drive, then back to park, took my foot off the brake, and could still shift, even without my foot on the brake. I even turned the truck off, and could still shift without pushing the brake.
I've tried looking up the shift lock, but it sounds like everyone who has issues with this, makes it stick in park. I've read that locked is the normal position, so it requires power to unlock. I would guess it can get stuck in the unlocked position, but since I can't find any information that direction, it would be rare.
I have used the shift lock override button before when pulling my radio out for some wiring. Could that have stuck something? If it did, why is it still trying to work, but only when it is cold inside the truck.
If anyone has any prior experience with these, input would be appreciated.
