With shift interlock, you can't shift it w/o steeping on the brake. Fix the brake lites then hopefully you can shift it. Some makes and models have a bypass button by the shifter that you can press, then shift it into neutral.
I don't know your year--make--model?

SOURCE: dash lights and parking lights dont work

Do the headlights work? do the tail lights work?
If you haven't checked the fuses, do that first. If they aren't blown, the next likely problem is the switch itself. These can be found in working condition from a junk yard.
My Cavalier lost it's tail lights and parking lights, but the headlights worked, I had to replace the switch on the steering column.
If it is the problem, it is not too complicated to replace yourself with basic tools. You will need a steering wheel puller and you will want to disconnect the battering. Be extra careful with the airbag.
Good luck

How do i fix my Chevy Cobalt. Floor shifter stays stuck in park postion. I am pressing brake pedal and pushing the shifter button.

have a helper. tell him to press brake pedal. you come to back of vehicle and see if the brake lights work when helper press the pedal. if lights don't work the tail light fuse has blown. so you cant take from park. and on some brands if horn fuse blown you cant take from park.

2002 dodge durango wont shift out of park

Put your foot on the brakes and have someone see if you have brake lights.This has a shift interlock that uses the brake lights to complete the circuit that unlocks the shifter from park. You can bypass this saftey feature by applying brake, engine off key off and moving shifter to neutral then starting the engine Dont forget to fix your brake lights !!

Look in your Vehicle manual for the fuse panel diagram and check the BRK Fuse, and also the Tail light fuse. If both are good, the problem may lye in the brake light switch attached to the brake pedal.
