Default Will not shift into park or reverse

Help... I have a 2005 Altima 3.5. After getting the work the car would not shit into either reverse or park. I had to use the manual lock release to get the car home. Once home the car will not shift from park to reverse without using the manual lock release and I got the same results from shifting form neutral to reverse. I confirmed that the break lights are working along with the dome and map lights. Could this problem be caused by a bad Neutral safety switch? if not what else could cause this problem?

It could be from a faulty Neutral safety switch, a blown fuse, shift lock solenoid, to something in the shift assembly.

I rule out the PNP switch cuz the car starts. If pnp ECM will not allow car to start as it cannot see whether in park or drive. Inspect shifter cable and shift solenoid is a possibility.
