Default RE: Gear probs

The problems are related. The shift handle is supposed to lock in park unless you step on the brake. This is controlled by the brake light switch and circuit, the same circuit that turns the brake lights on. Either the switch is bad, fuse blown, or something with the wiring of the alarm.

I think there is a way you can stick a key in the shifter and temporarily bypass the interlock so you can drive the car, but you shouldn't drive in public without brake lights anyway.
