Most likely a corrosion problem in the integrated power module. It's a known failure item. Pretty hard to diagnose without a scan tool and not a DIY fix
1st question, do the brake lights work? The systems lock out solenoid gets power from the bake light circuit, so you can't shift out of park unless the brake pedal are pressed, it senses this through the brake light switch.
It still could be the battery, your trying to jump the car for 15 minutes would have given it a partial charge. BUT I would suspect the park/neutral switch. So I would suggest that you "play" with trying to start your vehicle in park, then neutral, park, then neutral and see what happens.
The only manual adjustment for the parking brake on these is at the shoes themselves. Procedure for that is as follows:
1) Place parking brake lever in "full released" position. 2) Raise and support vehicle. 3) Remove plug in parking brake shoe support to access adjuster star-wheel. NOTE: Through the access hole, rotate the adjuster wheel in the following direction to expand the shoes outward against the drum. Left brake--Rotate star wheel toward rear of vehicle. Right brake--Rotate star wheel toward front of vehicle. 4)Using an appropriate tool, turn adjuster star wheel until wheel will not rotate (dead lock). 5) Back off adjuster six detents (teeth). 6) Rotate wheel, checking for light drag. If drag is too heavy, continue to back of adjuster one detent at a time until light drag is present. Do not back off star-wheel more than 17 detents from wheel lock. 7) Install access plug. 8) Adjust opposite wheel parking brake shoes using same method. 9) Lower Vehicle. 10) Apply and release parking brake lever once to ensure proper operation of parking brakes.
