When I step on my brakes the horn sounds (or a sound that sounds like the horn), and then I can't shift into gear. Do you know what could be wrong with it?

Hi CarlosZepeda,

Inability to shift out of park indicates a fault in the interlock system.

Possible causes would be a fauty brake switch, blown brake fuse. Check if the brake lights are working.

As to the noise, never heard of such a phenomenon. Can you verify where the noise is coming from?

The brake lights are not working and the sound comes when ever I step on the brakes.
I checked the fuse and the switch but there doesn't seem to be a problem with any of them.

If the brake lights are not working, check if the bulbs are fused, brake fuse underhood and brake switch.

This should be solved first as it affects the shift lever.

Depressing the brakes emitts a buzzing noise could be the interlock solenoid trying to operate.

For emergency, insert the key into the slot at gear shift and move lever to N and you can start vehicle and drive vehicle. However you must note that you do not have any brake lights.
