Folks,

My 2000 Blazer wil not shift out of park regardless of where the ignition key switch or brade pedal is positioned.
Thanks in advance for your help.

In the underhood fuse panel: Ignition in the run position, engine off, using a test light or volt meter, check both terminals on the top of the 25amp B/U lamp fuse #25, and the 10amp BTSI fuse. All 4 terminals must show battery voltage. Post your results.

Both fuses are good (checked with ohm meter)
I had to remove the fuses to check across the terminals. Both locations had 0 voltage across the terminals.

Just to make sure: with the ignition in the run position, there is no voltage on either terminal of either fuse? (don't remove the fuse to check it with a test light or volt meter.)

EDIT: Test the fuses at the terminals next to the amperage rating on top of the fuse:

We checked the voltage again with the key switch in the run position and the fuses in place. Neither fuse had voltage. We checked a few other fuses and they did not have voltage either.
The battery has 12.5 volts.

I am posting here for a friend who owns the car and lives quite some distance from me.

Thanks for your help.

With this new information, it may turn out to be an easy fix Ignition in the run position. In the under hood fuse panel, test all of the fuses at the terminals on the fuse, (don't remove the fuses to test them). On the underside of the fuse panel cover, it tells what circuit each fuse goes to: Post each fuse, (circuit) that does not show battery voltage.

The rain has stopped finally.
None of the fuses have power to them. We were unable to check the larger grey things, assuming they are fuses.

The "larger grey things" are relays, we're not concerned with them at this point.

Do the headlights, and courtesy lights work?

Do the warning lights on the dash come on when you turn the ignition to the run position?
