Hello everyone, as the title states my car is stuck in park and my brake lights are not working. it is a 92 auto, before I get smart ass responses no I'm not doing a 5 speed swap. I did search on here as well as other online resources and I checked the fuses underneath the steering wheel in the panel as well as the fuse box in the engine bay and the fuses and relays look fine. I thought my brake switch which engages and disengages when you press the brake pedal was bad so I replaced it with a new switch but I still have no brake lights and my car will not move out of park still. I removed the center console and looked closely at the shifter lever and noticed that something isn't engaging in the shifting mechanism so this prohibits the shifter to be moved. I am able to manually move the mechanism and at that point I can move the lever from park to reverse to neutral to drive as normal however only when I manually move the mechanism at the bottom of the shift lever. At this point I'm stumped, can anyone help me out?
