S80 won't shift out of Park S80 2005

This has got me stumped. 2005 S80; 76,000 miles. 5 speed auto, not Geartronic

My wife took it to work, 15 miles highway. Then drove 1/2 mile to a meeting at lunch. No problem. Comes back to car, it starts just fine, but won't shift out of Park.

I'm just back from giving the car a work over and no luck. Here's what I know:
Opened up the trim around the shifter to expose the mechanicals.

When the key is switched on, I can see the shift-lock drop out of the way as it should.

When I depress the brake pedal I can feel the magnet or whatever in the shift trigger activate.

Squeeze the shift trigger and the lever just won't move. I can't see any other barriers.

Unplugged the tranny selector wiring harness, let it sit for a minute or two, then plugged it back in. No change.

Disconnected the battery and let it sit a while, reconnected, no change.
All associated fuses intact.

No CEL.

We've had several months of intermittent difficulty shifting it INTO Park after driving, and I've sprayed silicone in the shifter a few times with some success. That problem seems to be in the shift trigger. Maybe it's related to this.

Ideas?

TIA
