Why won't the shifter come out of park

Brake lights working??

Odds are it's 1 of 2 things that may be the simplest of answers that I've noticed with my vehicle. 1-you may need to depress brake pedal more than the one time to get actuator in shifter to engage and allow you to shift into either reverse or forward gears. 2-push the gear shift up/forward to get the tension off of the internal shiftknobs lockout mechanism, before you depress brake pedal. Depress brake pedal now and then you should be able to shift out of park.... Hope that helps at least someone and that this info wasn't too late after you jumped the gun and got rid of your car for possibly nothing. If so, better luck next time genius. 😎😁🤪
