Sounds like a sensor in your brake pedal is gone. You can't shift the car into gear without your foot on the brake therefore if the sensor isn't working it would explain your car not unlocking the gearshift and not signaling the brakelights to go on. I'd check the fuse, not sure where it is.

Hopefully somebody can give some more insight into this.

yes the sensor went bad (or is broke), either that or the wire is cut, probably right near the brake pedal...

any more info on this? My brother is having the same problem on his 93 SC. The brake lights work but the car won't shift. Would it be the sensor?

As I told you before - you have grounded something out.

I don't think so Johnny----If you ground something out the 1st thing that happens is a fuse blows.
He said nothing about blown fuse so I would think it is as others have posted---a bad brake switch at the peddle.
