Should be the same as the stop light fuse
Yes, a blown brake light fuse causes the shift interlock to malfunction. If the interlock can't tell if the brake is depressed or not, it won't shift out of park. The brake light fuse is a 15A in the engine bay fuse box.
Check the brake light fuse.

check shift interlock swith most likely at brake pedal
sounds like a bad brake switch or shift interlock switch. or do the simple first. check your fuse..lol i had this same problem and it was a small fuse
A couple more suspects...Check the shift interlock fuse - #10(?)Neutral start switch/Transmission Range Sensor?
Check brake lights--if they do not work shift interlock will not release
the brake interlock press on the brake to release it
Might be a problem with the brake/transmission interlock switch
See the link below and click on Owner Guides.The Owner Guide ( which includes the brake-shift interlock instructions starting on page 210 ) can be viewed online.
On a 2004 Lincoln Navigator : Starting on ( page 244 ) of the Owner Guide it explains the Brake Shift Interlock and what to do if you cannot shift out of PARK ( you've already done that ) Check to see if the brake lights are working , or it is possible that the fuse for the Brake Shift Interlock has blown and is no good
