  You can't get out of Park until your brake light switch has power to it, or until you release the lever using a screwdriver in the slot next to the gearshift console.
  
  As for having no power--if you actually load-tested the battery and it's good, then you must have an issue with the cables. Does a jump start do anything?

  I depress the break and the lever will still not move. Cables are good and tight

  Okay can get the shift lever to move by depressing the button next to the lever. Shift down to neutral and still will not start. Not even turning over at all. Dash lights up and then goes dim

  Do you have brake lights?

  Yes. What would having Break lights have to do with no Power?

  When you depress the brake pedal, you activate a switch that unlocks the shift lever. Not having brake lights would assume an electrical problem in that area (since those are also activated by depressing the brake pedal).

  I had electrical problems with my Jeep Wrangler a while back, ended up having something to do with the wiring around my battery. Did you manage to figure this out?
