I cannot shift out of park on my truck and I have no brake lights. I have checked all of the fuses, etc. I am not a mechanic so don't know what else to try.

Thanks.

Sounds like the brake light switch is bad. Located on the brake pedal assembly, be sure it is plugged in, if so I would start there. That switch controls brake lights and the Shift-lock
