Check and see if you have brake lights - If there are no brake lights then your shifter release solenoid will not release the shifter, it will be stuck in park.

97 Escort engine starts OK but won't shift out of park?
There is a shifter lockout solenoid in the console that is activated by the brake light switch. Check to see if your brake lights work. If they don't, you probably have a bad brake light switch, or a broken wire at the barke light switch connector. If they do, then you might have a problem with the shifter lockout solenoid itself. I have seen a lot of those go bad because of a build up of syrup from spilled sodas in the cup holder over the years. If the brake light fuse is blown your transmission will not shift out of park.
