I can not get the car out of park. Can you tell me what to check?

This may sound funny, but are the brake lights working?

No one was out. I check the fuses and found the one that was controlling the switch for the gear shift.

That is what I figured. The park lock solenoid is controled by the brake light switch. Regardless, I'm glad you got it fixed.

Let us know if you have other questions in the future.
