03 E500 and Corvette
Many cars have a brake switch that must connect to allow the shifter to move from P. If the switch fails the shifter will lock in park. Don't know if the S430 has this switch but you might check. It normally operates brake lights, turns off cruise and releases shifter. Could be more than one switch I haven't looked into the 1990 model.
