92 Mazda truck locks in park

My 92 Mazda locks in Park. Right now it is locked and no matter
what I try it won't budge. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you park on a hill or level ground? Many automatics will lock in park if
they're holding back on a hill. If that's the case, set the parking brake while
you're in neutral, then put it in park. When you get ready to start, put it in
gear before releasing the brake.

Thanks, those are good hints for hills which I took note of and will make
use of next time I park
on a slope. However, this truck locks up on perfectly level ground.
Have checked the brake switch and it is ok. So as for now the truck sits
locked up in park. Fortunately
it is not needed for using.
