Jeep gladiator sport(no max tow)
Accidentally shut my Jeep gladiator sport off(automatic transmission) while it was in drive mode. I cannot get it to start now, can’t move it into Park or neutral. Can anyone help me out? Thought about disconnecting battery and reconnecting then trying, but thought I’d try here first, thanks

Are you able to get the ignition to ACC or ON then shift up?

I do this all the time(out of habit for some reason)...pull into my spot, neutral, ebrake, engine off...then I remember
The ignition has to be on or acc(as said above) and your foot has to be on the brake.
I know this may sound obvious but most other cars will shift out of neutral with out the brake

There is also a removable panel between the shifter and dash that you can open and release the shifter interlock with a lever or strap, can't remember which but it shows it in the manual.
