Default Brake causes click in console

Just replaced the front rotors on my 06 Pacifica. Now when the car is running, the shifter is in Park and I step on the brake there is a click sound in the console. I am sure it is the safety interlock to prevent shifting out of park without the brake being applied. This click was not there before I changed the rotors. Is this solenoid adjustable in some way. The sound is just annoying.

Default Noticed the same click sound in console

I am noticing same click sound in the console while applying brakes while car is parked, but engine running. I bought it used 6 months ago so I am not sure if it is due to rotor change or not. It is a 2006 Pacifica also BTW.

I am a bit curious if it is a warning for the things to follow .......

U are heightened to things going on around u after a repair that U have done yourself that noise has more then likely been there the whole time. Brakes are fluid moving not clicking sounds when U press on the brake.

The sound is from the console not the brakes themselves. I have been a mechanic for well over 20 years and so I know what my heightened hearing is looking for and this sound is not from the fluid. I can also state that the sound may be a coincidence to the rotor change but it was not there before. But thanks for the expert reply from the Chrysler Tech.

Pressing the brake pedal actuates a solenoid that allows you to move the shift lever out of park. It is located under the center console. It will make an audible click when activated. Perfectly normal.

I understand that it is normal, but it did not make this noise before? So my question still stands is there any adjustment or alignment on this? I guess I will just have to open the console and look for myself.

Not adjustable except for the interlock mechanism throw. That won't help the noise.

That may be but I live in AZ and the summer gets pretty hot here. When the wife goes shopping I sit in car and leave it running for the air, & I've never heard that noise before when I took off.
