A brake-shift-ignition interlock includes a releasable shifter lock containing a slidable blocker pin associated with the shifter mechanism, a solenoid having an armature which normally resides in a non-centered position when the releasable shifter lock is in the locked or blocking position. Energization of the solenoid by means of a lead frame disposed within the BTSI housing pivots a control arm to unblock the shifter lock. Sliding movement of a blocker pin operates a pair of sliding contacts bearing on the lead frame to open the circuit to the solenoid coil and close the circuit to an ignition key lock. A leaf spring disposed flexibly between the BTSI housing and the control arm eliminates the need for mechanical stops and returns the solenoid armature to the relaxed, non-centered position as soon as the shift lever is returned to the "PARK" position.
