a few years back my daughter had a 96 bronco. The fuse was out of the brake light. With the fuse blown it would not come out of park. We had a trailer plugged into it. The brake light wire was bare, got against the bumper blew the fuse.

electronic shift solenoid is most probably the cause of your problem,your vehicle has two of these that close are apply depending on shifter position,if one goes out it is like neutral all the time.

Check the brake light switch that is mounted on the brake pedal arm for broken wiring, broken switch, or out of adjustment. The switch will prevent the shifter from operation. Hope this helps.
