2000 Hyundai Accent The Car Is Stuck in Park but It Starts Just Fine

The little button on the side of the selector will not press in to get it out of Park. Is there a way to check the brake interlock switch? If that is even a consideration. Thank you

You called it right thank you. What it was, the fuse for the brake lights was blown and that made it stuck in park. Would have never thought of that till after much head scratching. Awesome site!
