Insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the on position, and move the steering wheel left and right while applying pressure to the sfift lever. The system has a way on locking up the steering wheel and keeping the shift lever lock in park.

Possibly the brake light switch is bad. I had a recall on a Ford Taurus that spoke of this problem. The brake light switch releases a solenoid that holds the shifter in park.

Older Fords can present many interesting challenges.

As he recommended, I went to my local car repair and had them replace the "shift cable" and that fixed the problem. Evidently there was a break in one of the wires of this cable. A Virginia Driver.
