i have a 01 durango and it wont shift its giving me a code for short in shift solanoid how do i fix it

 

Sounds like the electrical connection at the shift solenoid.

Disconnect the solenoid and check for corrosion. Clean it up and play with it off and on a few times and see if you can get connection.

If not then you need to check for power, to do this is tricky because the way it works is a power shot for a specific time then turns off. So you have to have someone shift it for you while under there and see if you get any reading for a short time, if so sounds like the wiring is ok and you replace the shift motor. If no electrical then you need to test back to the switch, test the switch, and power to the switch to find the open connection.
