Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me. Last winter, I couldn't get my car out of park and into drive after I started the car and pressed the brake pedal. I discovered the shift lock release hole and put my key in it and discovered that it is basically is a manual override for the shift lock. At first, the brake lights still worked when the shifter was locked. Over the past year, the shifter has gotten locked off and on, inconsistently, sometimes for a week, several days, or for one day, sometimes not at all for months at a time...brake lights used to work, but as of September, have quit working when when the shifter is locked. Last night, the brake lights worked for a split second, but not anymore since then. I need some help asap, I don't want a ticket or get rear ended, and I must drive my car, no other option. Is the brake light switch bad? Is it a fuse? Like I said, when the shifter unlocks itself, the brake lights still work. I know its not a bulb or anything like that. Need help fast! Thanks in advance!!
