This is commonly cause when the transmission is replaced and the shift linkage is not hooked up properly. Find the shift cable on your transmission and disconnect it, then put your shifter into park. The transmission linkage needs to be put in park as well. Now that both the transmission and your shifter are in park, you can adjust the cable accordingly and reconnect it. This should solve your problem.

Why does my mercury mountaineer 2005 will not shift out of park When i start the truck?

If your 2005 Mercury Mountaineer won't shift out of park, it could be due to a malfunctioning brake light switch, which prevents the shift interlock system from releasing. Additionally, a low transmission fluid level or a problem with the transmission itself might cause this issue. Check to ensure your brake lights are functioning, and if they aren't, replacing the brake light switch may resolve the problem. If the issue persists, it’s advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.

The shift interlock mechanism probably needs to be repaired. The owners manual probably gives instructions for temporarily overriding this, but it would be best to have it repaired.
