If the indicator light for the gear shift on a Ford Fusion remains on, a common problem is a faulty microswitch that detects the car's park position. Repairing this issue is usually simple and inexpensive, so it's recommended not to overlook it. If the light persists after addressing the microswitch, it's advisable to have the car inspected by a professional. While it's unlikely, there may be a transmission problem that could potentially cause damage if the car doesn't shift properly. However, in most cases, this is not the underlying issue, so there's no need to panic if the light does not turn off.
Could that small switch be the reason behind the battery drainage?
A frequent reason for this problem is when the micro switch responsible for detecting when the car is in park fails to activate. If no other issues are found, it is recommended to replace this micro switch, which is found within the shifter assembly.
