Unhappy Shifter Stuck In Park - Help Please!

Hi
So i had my Battery out for 5 days while waiting for replacement.
Replaced battery, Truck started no issues.
But shifter wont get out of Park.

When a Press brake pedal and squeeze shift button it makes that clicking sound.
The white tab moves up and down.
But shifter wont budge.

That's interesting, never seen that.

I believe the shifter goes off brake lights(press brake pedal, get out of park)...do your tail lights work? Also check fuses as well.

Will the shift lever move if you manually depress the release tab?

Dumb question, but is the driver's door closed all the way when you try to shift out of Park?

From what I've seen the shifter should release once the white override button is pressed but mine doesn't...

My effing mercedes will slam park if you open the door going less than about 5 mph
Tried to pick up a socket on the road the other day and the dam thing almost threw me out
