Check your hand brake micro switch

There is a brutal procedure for reviving the switch - See Pedro's suggestion on his Forum.
Replacing this switch is tedious due to access issues. Best done when you upgrade to Ben's short shifter !

thanks but that didn't work either still trying to find out if the new module needs to be programed to my car what do you think ?

No programming required. I've swapped modules from car to car but keep in mind that the controller for a 97-99 is different from an 00-04.

Not trying to give you crap but with no punctuation in your post, I'm not sure I completely understand what you've done or not done.

How do you know the parking brake switch is ok? The light on the dash is not an indicator.
