If you are pretty sure that is not the problem, then you might have a faulty brake pedal switch and/or park shift lock actuator that prevents the gear shift from being able to move unless your foot is on the brake pedal and the key is in the ignition in the RUN position. If your brake lights don't work, then this is most likely the issue. Check the 15-amp fuse #1 in the Instrument Panel fuse box. This fuse provides power for the brake pedal switch/shift lock.
