2005 S Type won't shift into any gear
A while back when my battery drained down I couldn't move my gearshift lever at all. Once the battery was recharged it shifted fine. Last night my son spilled a diet soda all over the console and I know some went down into the shifter mechanism. THe battery seems to be charged but the lever isn't shiftin at all again. Any ideas?

Check other fuses.
And relays, maybe.
Safety interlocks tend to be simple-minded so they're.... safe. You're likely looking for something very simple.
On the later cars (2002.5MY-on) various of the gearbox-area lights are driven from a module (on the CAN bus) but I'm fairly sure they are just lights i.e. that's all the module does. It would be mildly annoying if it broke but I think that's all. A module is NOT a simple-minded thing so is not likely your problem.

No shift module
This means the shift interlock is a simple switch to solenoid actuated (no module) actuated interlock device. Check for power eminating from harness going to interlock solenoid. If no power, then fuse/relay issue.
