Check to see if you have brake lights. There is a switch on the brake pedal called the brake-on-off (BOO) switch that tells the system that the brakes are being applied. If it is bad, the transmission shift lock will not disengage and let you shift out of park. They are cheap and can be bought at Advance or any other parts store. It is also pretty easy to replace. Just take your time.

My Lincoln navigator is stuck in 4 low how do I get it out?

To get out of 4 low turn the selector back to 2 hi, back the vehicle up a few feet. With foot on brake shift into neutral, you should hear it shift back to 2 hi in a couple seconds and the 4 high lights go off. The owners manual says it has to be in neutral, and sometimes that works. Nevertheless, more often than not I have to back up a few feet then shift into neutral... Hope this works
