I had a similar problem while out of town so I know how frustrating it can be. The bad case scenerio you blew your transmission & the gears are locked. Few questions you should ask yourself........ When you step on the brake does the automatic safety release if so it could be as simple burnt out shift wire that needs to be replaced or your shifter itself as was the case in my Magnum. The shifter is very badly designed (Dodge is aware of this) & is made out of plastic which over time doesn't hold up very well. The shifter has a small hook that attaches to a spring which releases the automatic transmission lock if the hook broke the signal is being sent but the spring is no longer releasing your transmission. Try using the backup transmission lock release valve that is on the side of the shifter you will have to remove the coin tray once you do there's a gap with a lever that you push if you still can't shift be sure take it to a transmission specialist

I have 2005 Dodge Magnum the car will not shift out of park?

If your 2005 Dodge Magnum won't shift out of park, it could be due to a faulty brake light switch, which prevents the shift interlock system from engaging. Check the brake lights; if they don't work when you press the pedal, the switch may need replacement. Additionally, inspect the gear selector and ensure that the ignition is in the "On" position, as the car must be in this state to shift out of park. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be best to consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.
