Are you putting your foot on the brake? My mom did that along time ago when my dad first got our old 96 f250 and she didn't know that she had to put your foot on he brake

check your fuses ... theres a fuse that protects both the brake lights and the auto trans interlock ( if i remember correctly) . when it blows, you have no brake lights and cant get it out of park.

Fuses 13 and 18 are used for the shift lock circuit (requires both) as well as supplying power to other circuits.

Just wanted to say that you can get around that shift interlock, there's a built-in override so you can drive it til you get it fixed.

Put your key in and go 1 click forward (towards run but not all the way there)... now shift to neutral and you'll be able to start the truck. Just remember if you put it in park again you'll have to repeat the procedure.

Here is a diagram for the shift lock circuit. Looks like you need to start tracing some wires.
