Never,mind I found a blown fuse? No reason for the fuse blowing that I am aware of. AGE maybe? Nothing else was going on, it worked fine from one destination to the next then nothing. No messin with the radio or cig lighter and the fan motor was off.

Adjustment?
However, the brake pedal switch only enables the shift lock button to work. I don't think you have a problem just bacause you need to depress the brake pedal before the button works.
I found the problem, The brake pedal triggers a selenoid that disengages the shift lock. It is on the same circuit as the brake lights, last week I removed the hitch and the trailer connector (by cutting the plug off) I though it was cut clean and I tucked it up. What I neglected to do was to tape off the end. This trailer connector wire became free and was grouding out on the exhaust bracket. Tapes it up replaced another fuse and I am good to go.
