Shift lock solenoid could be the problem , or brake light switch ,or shift lock relay . Your vehicle has a safety system known as shift lock or interlock , what ever suzuki calls it . It will not allow the shifter to move from park to any gear unless drivers foot is pushing the brake pedal . You can view wiring diagram here at http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size .Then under system click on transmission / transaxle . Then under subsystem click on transmission controls , hit the search button , the click first blue link . At the top of the diagram an on the right side you will see shift lock relay ,Then down near the bottom on the left side you will see the shift lock solenoid . You could test these with a volt meter ,do you have an know how to do that ? Where is your shifter ? on the floor or on the steering column ? You will need to disassemble parts of your vehicle to get at these parts .So check the relay first , do you have a owners manual ? Should tell you the location in there .
This issue just happened to my 2001 Grand Vitara (4WD).
With the engine running, I engaged the 4WD. This released the shifter lock and I was able to shift the transmission out of Park normally. I drove the car in 4H for about a mile before shifting it out of 4WD. The shifter has worked flawlessly after performing this procedure.

There is usually a button behind the brake pedal which does two things.
A. it actuates your brake light
B. It also unlocks the the gear selector
Sometimes they simply need an adjustment usually a 13mm lock nut and advance the switch in small incriments.
SOURCE: where is the starter for a 2000 suzuki grand vitara located
starters are normally located at the rear of the motor usually hard to get too or see. should be on your bell housing in other words just in front of the gearbox/clutch

Take your rig.. drive it to a gas station.. fill the tank up with gas.. also fill 2 jugs of gasoline at the same time... put the jugs in the back of it.. now drive as far as you can until the rig runs out of gas.. then, take the two jugs of gas.. pour it all over the rig, inside and out.. now light it a-blaze, then walk to your nearest car dealer and buy a new car..
