I apologize if I have posted my question in the wrong place. I posted my question in the “introduce yourself” section. So just in case I am posting my question again. My 2008 Gem Car thinks it is still plugged in and will not go. When I unplugged it this morning the indicator light stayed on and when I release the parking brake the buzzer sounds and the car will not move. I assume that the sensor has gone bad or is stuck but I don’t know how best to proceed. Please help. Thanks, TedGem

Old mechanics trick: WD40 works great on electrical connections to clean and waterproof them. WD stands for “water displacement”.

Thanks, I plugged it in last night out of habit and when I unplugged it this morning the problem disappeared. But I will try you suggestion the next time it happens.
