Put the emergency brake on. Find the shifter lock override slot, which is usually located on the shifter console close to the shift lever. The slot will be plugged with a plastic cap. Remove the cap and push down on the button with a nail file or other pointed object.

2003 pontiac vibe when i put the key in to start door bizzer will not come on also when i start my car insturment panel lights and guages will not come on

Check your fuses. Probably a 10 or 15 amp. Most newer cars have 2 fuse boxes....one under or on the side of dash (drivers side) and one under hood.

Pontiac vibe 2003 cannot get out of park

Have someone check for the brake light when you are on the brake,
This will rule out a bad brake switch interlock and / or fuse.
=========
Take the key out Gently rock the steering and listen for a click (spring return)

=========
Put the key in and start the car Turn the steering wheel end to end and listen for any sound.

This rule out any steering issue.
========-
Check the plastic push button
Check the connector to the interlock under the shifter.

No start turn the key and nothing

Does the car crank? If not, does you lights dim when trying to start? If your lights are bright and the car is not starting than It's most likely the starter. If your lights are dim than try to jump start it. If it cranks and still not starting than it could be so many different things.

I tried to start my car this am the key turns but it did not even have clicking like it was trying to start it was dead, I can not get the key out now and it will not go into any other gear but park, the...

sounds like the key is still in the on position. put in park and jiggle the steering wheel and try to turn the key back to the off position. that will allow you to remove the key. of course that doesn't address the no start issue. check the normal things, battery, cable end connections for tightness and freedom from corrosion, etc. no lights sounds like either a faulty battery connection or a drained battery.

The gear shift will not come out of park, Pontiac Vibe 2003

there should be a cap that you can pop off with a key or small flat screwdriver next to the shift indicator next to the shift lever. lift the cap off and insert your key into the key hole you should be able to shift the lever now if the problem persists take your vibe into the dealer.
