Default stuck in neutral

My VDP wont start, I know I have an electrical problem.
I want to move it but it is stuck in park.
Is there a trans overide?
Cant even get to the gearbox properly with shifter in the park position.
Battery is good.
Help

Default electrical problrm

I appear to have a short somewhere, all of my 5 amp fuses seem to be grounded?
I have a loose wire with what appears to be a speaker jack type connector which came from under the center console. Does anyone know what this wire could be for(speaker prhaps) and could this have caused my short?

Get a T30 torx bit and remove the little plastic star in the selector, insert the key into the hole and move the shifter from 'P' to 'N'.
