My 96 960 is stuck in park, I am using the shiftlock to move it but wanted to check on the board for advice before I roll it into the shop. I have looked through the board and have found that it could be either the solonoid or the brake switch. That would make sense but I would think for either of those issues to be true the brake lights would not work either...and they do.

Thanks in advance, I have saved a ton of time on this board with my 93 850 and my 95 855.

I could also be your PNP switch is bad, in addition to what Steve states.
Try moving the gear selector back and forth 20-30 times thru the gear range. This can sometimes clean the contacts in the PNP switch enough to get one moving, if it works than it is the PNP switch not the microswitch at the gear shift.

Your brake lights will work. its a separate circuit and switch.

Likely the microswitch inside the shifter controlling the park lock solenoid, the one you override when you press the override button. These fail constantly.
