Transmission stuck in park

I was hoping to view a permanent fix. C’mon, there must be a Jeep wizard out there, who’s had this fault and resolved it successfully. This is a good thread for the community, so let’s hope someone comes through.
One of the hardest things now is the lack of access to related wiring diagrams, that is unless you have a dealer spec’d diagnostic unit.

Can’t believe this post is still open and unresolved. Did Frankjank148 & TwiztedJezter trade up for a Toyota instead? Maybe worth looking at auto transmission forums or Mercedes’ via the net, with better skills than I and see if anything comes up.

....and here I am with a 2015 JKU... Same issue. Replaced shifter and brake light switch so far... No good
Still on the case with this issue I see, as this notification just arrived via the forum.
Has anyone undone the multi-pin transmission socket and looked inside for leaking oil seals which transfer oil up through the wiring loom if they're leaking, or looked to inspect for damaged or corrosion on the male and female terminals of same socket?
Just a thought
good luck either way.

good luck either way. Has anyone resolved this issue? I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler sport with the 3.6 engine. While driving, just like the first poster said, the transmission slips out of drive into neutral and back. Or I can pull over to the side of the road. Put it in neutral back in the drive and get home. I'm having the interlock issue too, almost all the time. The shifter is stuck in park unless I flip the key six or seven times. Every 6 or 7th time I'm able to get it from Park and down into the gears. I'm not seemed clear resolutions on the internet. I'm hoping everyone that has reported this issue here has found a way forward. Please share if you have. I replaced the brake switch and that did not help. There seems to be no repeatable way to make it work. I've checked with doors. Open doors closed, wiggling wires, keeping the key depressed while turning. So frustrating.
Update. I've replaced the shifter with a used one found on eBay. Will keep you posted. I'm crossing fingers because to do this. I disconnected the negative battery cable. When I did that last time the shifter solenoid worked several times in a row, but the next day the problem reappeared. Reappeared. So I think it will take at least a day maybe longer to confirm that replacement of the shifter is a resolution. I'm still getting the u0404 code and it is marked permanent. I've tried erasing the code but it will not go away. Will keep you all posted.
