Probably the selector lock out solenoid or switch, check your owners manual that should be an over ride to by pass it when it fails, I will look into the probable cause and re post a bit later.

I do not have any info on a 2002 c 270, it is not in Mitchell 1 data base, normally the brake light switch activates the solenoid under the selector, your owners manual will give a location of an over ride, all cars have them, but I have no info on your model.
