Question TL won't shift out of park

Recently I changed a transmission shift cable, which was sticking on my 2008 Acura TL Type-S. Now when I want to shift the car from Park to Drive, it won't do anything. But the only thing that I can really do is override it with a key, in the shifter. So I changed the stop switch assembly (behind the stop pedal), parking pin & shift switch assembly (located in the floor shift console), and also changed AT shift lock solenoid assembly (center console). Now it looks like there isn't any more sensors that I can see. So I was wondering if you had any ideas, what it might be. Please let me know, what you might think, about this.

Well, I was wondering if there is some kind of a fuse or a relay that might not be sending a signal to the other sensors?

Well, since you asked, I think you're foolish for spending time and money to fix it yourself instead of letting the dealer fix it for free (assuming, of course, you didn't purchase a salvage titled car or something else happened to completely void your warranty).

I'm not sure it's the same w/ the 2008, but in the 2004 TL it's fuse #32.

Do your brake light & 3rd brake light go on when you press the brake to get out of park? if not it could be your brake switch, go back and make sure you installed it correctly. Check the relevant fuses as well.

Yes, my brake lights and the third brake light do come on, when I press the brakes. Well, I don't see how it could be my brake switch, because I bought a brand new one from a dealer. And I also, tested my old and a new switch, and they both work. I installed it exactly the same way as it was before. The only thing that I can think of, would be something within the fuse box. Any other suggestions?
