07 sebring will not shift out of park Sign In

I am rebuilding an 07 sebring from salvage. my problem is I unhooked battery so I could replace the air bag system, after bags were replaced the car starts and runs air bag light went off but now the car will not shift into drive.
I removed the center console, I can see the safty switch move when i press the brake pedal, But it still will not shift.
There is a some sort of lever on the left side of the shifter with a cable that looks like it goes to the key switch. I can pul it back and the shifter will move.
No problem with it before i disconnected the battery.

That solenoid in the console is the only thing inside the car that could prevent it. Make sure it is releasing all the way and then check the other end of the cable.

That prevents you from turning the key all the way off unless it is in Park.
