Can you shift out of park without pressing the brake?

read here that it was most likely the brake light switch. Ordered one, picked it up about 5pm, have it installed, correct the problem.

It's usually a sign of a brake light switch that is stuck in the compressed position. Since you have already purchased that part it shouldn't be an issue. Let us know what the outcome of your repair is.
