Hello: I've searched and found a lot of posts about this problem. I dont think mine is the brake switch though - for a few reasons.
Mainly because my brake lights work fine and when I push on the pedal the light on the dash and the one next to the P on shifter go out (foot on pedal light).
I even tried the workaround which I found on this site about turning key slightly then move shifter. That worked a few times but today it wouldnt at all. I was stuck at the grocery parking lot. What I ended up doing out of frustration was force the shifter while doing that key trick. So it appears its something with that shift lock mechanism. I wouldnt mind disabling it if anyone knows how. Otherwise, if anyone knows of a fix?
I found this post - and tomorrow during the day I'll take a closer look and hopefully take apart the center console to get at the shifter
