Check your fuses first.

On most cars and trucks there is way to overide the Park interlock. It is a small hole in or near the shifter assembly (some have a plastic cover or a buttom). Find the small hole, insert a small tool like a small phillips screwdriver or nail, and while jiggling the gear shift depress the interlock button and it should come out of park. Your owners manual may make mention of this. Maybe someone with a 2000 f150 can send us a picture.

This method will work even if the battery is dead.

I found a post from 2011 about fuse # 15 being blown caused by my cruise control switch being bad. changed the fuse and that fixed the problem, am now on my way to the parts store to get a new switch. thank you all for your responses.
