neighbors 1996 taurus runs fine starts good but will not shift into drive. stuck in park checked the fuses all good. if ipump the brake very softly about 3 times and hold break pedal down it will shift out of park. but if i just push break pedalin once will not shift out of park. btw its a 3.0 with a od trans. got any ideas? any advice greatly appreciated thanks.

 

Sounds like a failing brake switch

Check the wires to the switch located behind the brake pedal. Also do a quick test and check the brake lights and see if they are working also.
