Is there a brake relay switch (under the hood)? The car is stuck in park and the brake lights are coming on. We have changed the stop light switch, and the fuse. It worked for a few days, and its stuck again. We have repeated the same steps, this time it remained stuck in park. Is there any other options to take?

check fuses first it is the shift interlock that is causing this. check ground on a pillar bellow dash finally have it scanned for codes by a mechanic to see if instrument interface or ignition solenoid is messing up causing problems.
