Just a thought
Disconnect your battery for a few minutes then reconnect it. this should reset your ABS module. It may get you out of park.

The ABS flashes are occurring in 2 groups; count the first group, then the second, and you'll get a 2-digit code that it's flashing out. The $12 Haynes manual explains this and has a code list.

Got it out of park.When I checked the brake pedal switch,I didn't have any brake lights so checked the fuse and was blown. Thought back about loading lawnmower the day before when I backed in a ditch to load. Must have flipped a stick and pulled a wire loose from trailer plug that went to ground a direct short. Replaced fuse drove truck and didn't have turn signals blue trn fuse due to same wire. So to every one who pulls a trailer, if you can't get it out of park look for a short and blown fuses. PM
