*TIP* Stuck in park

Just a tip cause this happened to me yesterday

If you car is stuck in park, and you just so happen to be messing with lights. Check your fuses!

I was 2 seconds from calling a dealership or shop nearby and scheduling a pickup or something cause I was baffled at what had happened, and there is close to no resource that I found online pointing me, so some basic track-it back to the source knowledge helped me out.

I was installing LED Reverse lights in my car - upon installing them had my brother:
- start her up
- put it in reverse, and nada, no reverse lights.
- its ok its an LED, flip it! Nope nada.
- Now shut it off, ok try again, and it wouldn't come out of park.

• Turns out if your #18 fuse blows (reverse lights - 7.5a fuse under dash) Your car will not shift out of park. So before you panic like I was, check your simple stuff, brake light, reverse light fuses. I have no clue how much that would have costed me or what I would have been told was wrong with my car if I would have had to tow it, get it looked at and "fixed".
