Hi,

Could be a faulty brake light switch... check if the brake lights are working, if yes, then it could be a park/neutral relay problem.

Let me know yes or no so I can supply other ideas... I'm on the west coast of Canada. So you might not get a reply from me for
some time as it is now late in the evening.
