Default stuck in park how to fix?

hey guys got another question, my 98 got stuck in park so i pulled the boot and pressed/moved the whiter lever got it in drive and got it home, now i need to know how to fix it, because it doesnt look like the white lever has anything pushing on it so i dont know how its supposed to look or operate, any help would be great.

brake switch. the parking lock is released when you step on the brake if the switch goes bad it wont work, also truck has to be on to do it and you should also check the fuses too just to make sure its not a blown fuse
