Failed Brake interlock switch on brake pedal. Safety feature so kids that can't reach pedals can't throw it in gear.

Check the fuse again, it will probably be blown again. You may want to see about getting a resettable breaker until you find the short. The breaker is only to be used as a tool to fine the short. Don't use it as a cure or fix.

GEM module is fried due to leaking windshield. U have to go have your window re-installed and sealed. Ford should have a recall on this. It cost over $1100 for our's to be fixed..GEM is $500 plus and then your labor.

Stuck in park

Sounds like the key cylinder needs replaci ng. When you replaced switch, you mean the electrical portion of switch? Either the lock cylinder is bad, or the rod from the cylinder to the ignition switch is not correctly installed. When they turn freely, it's usually a bad lock cylinder.

My gear shift i stuck in park

You can get it out of park as a temporary fix by popping off the little cover to the left of the gearshift, then pushing down on the lever beneath the cover with a flathead screwdriver (or skinny key) and then shifting out of park.

Gearshift is stuck in park?

Replace the shift lock solenoid for the shifter and replace the brake lamp switch as well located near the brake pedal. It will have a plunger on it that the brake pedal arm hits on to when depressed

2003 ford windstar won't shift out of park

There's a safety feature that you have to have your foot on the brake before the gearshift can be moved. In rare cases a vehicle thats parked against a concrete curb stop may have pressure in the drivetrain from being jammed against something when it was put into park from drive. The linkage could also be stuck to the transmission.
