98 conti stuck in park

[00ls-sport]

my brother has a 98 conti w/152k. had no brake lights and no shift from park. having been working for ford for many years, i know the brakelight switches were a problem, so i sent him one. he installed it, and now has brake lights, but still no movement from park. are there any fuses that would need to be replaced as well? he did not install a new pigtail, so i am not sure if that is suspect or not....he live about an hour away from me. tia.

edit: i stand corrected....shifter comes out of park, car just doesn't move. guess it is a tranny. damn, was gonna grab it for $400 and bypass the actuator.
