Last week my dash cluster lights, tail lights, and day runners quit working, not a bad fuse. Yesterday my brake lights quit working and my car will not go out of park unless I use the release switch next to the shifter. Whats wrong? Where do I start?

Hi scarnes6402,

The brake lights not working would cause the interlock to prevent the gear from being shifted out of park.

It is either due to a blown brake fuse in underhood fuse box, interruption in power supply to the brake switch or the brake switch, on top of brake pedal support is faulty.

As to the other lights not working, they are all on the same circuit and it is either due to a blown fus or a bad light switch.
