Title: Wouldn't switch out of park

problem: suddenly couldn't move our 2002 midbath out of park.
solution: According to the mechanic, there is a part that tells the computer that your foot is on the brake, which then allows you to shift. That part has a spring. When the spring breaks, it's Motorcraft SW-2217 E9TZ-13480-A. It wasn't even an expensive fix! Quite a relief.

It's an unusual problem I have seen once on a 2006 MB.
Either the brake switch or the interruptor solenoid fails, locking the transmission in Park.
One set of contacts in the brake switch activates a solenoid that releases the shift linkage, allowing the transmission to go into gear.

Glad you got it fixed.
