Nope that's it,if you have no signal from the switch then you have no park release at the shifter.

Arnald might be your leader over there but I never thought his speaking ability rubbed off so easy.

The vac switch you located is likely your auto emergency brake release.  Set your emergency brake while the car is off.  Start your car and then put the transmission in gear.  The emergency brake should retract on its own if your car is equipped with this feature.

He has a 93 cougar, unless he fudged the title... The 93 cougars have a aod just like the older foxes if I'm not mistaken... I dont think they have an auto relese on the brake...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
