The shifter is stuck and won't go into drive or anything. Even when I press the brake and try.

When the key is on do the brake lights work? The system tries to the brake lights so if they are not working, we need to start there if so, here is the emergency override for the shift lock in case you need it. We need to check fuse #15 in the fuse panel under the dash on the right side.

Here is the wiring diagram for the shift lock as well so you can see how the system works:
