Many vehicles will not shift out of park unless brake pedal is depressed. There could be a problem with that system. Some have an override for this to shift and many use the brake light switch as the indicator that the brake has been applied. If brake lights don't work that's where I'd look. Sorry that I don't know how each model by year does this. Owner's manual may help to get going till it can be fixed,
