It is just above the brake pedal, mounted on a bracket. You should see the sensor and the wires right above.
A likely cause is the brake pedal switch. It is on the brake pedal shaft. The switch must close when you step on the brake to shift the transmission from Park to other gears. The switch itself can be bad and must be replaced or one or more wires to the switch may be broken. My 1997 Ford Thunderbird would not shift out of Park until I found a broken wire and reconnected it. The entire switch can be removed to remove small broken wires from the switch that cannot be reconnected. Longer wires can then be inserted into the switch in order to splice the switch wires to the car wires. The correct size Crimp connectors and a Crimping tool would be good for a wire splice. Wrap the splice with rubber tape, not vinyl plastic tape. DISCONNECT THE NEGATICE GROUND CABLE TO THE BATTERY BEFORE DOING THE WORK. RECONNECT AFTER THE SPLICE IS COMPLETE.
Fuse, brake switch, bulbs. Replace whatever the problem is. There is no way to know without being hands on. Bulbs most likely answer.
It is important to have a diagram when making a change in the brake lines. A diagram for the 1997 Expedition 4wd brake line can be found in maintenance manual of the car.
Check for power at brake light switch Check for power and ground at the brake light sockets open wire?

It is just above the brake pedal. The switch rests against the brake pedal lever.
Your brake pedal has a switch or solenoid which make sure you step on the brakes before shifting. Check the contacts on that unit, it is connected with your brake pedal with something like a spring. I had a similar problem on my 1997 Expedition. The brake lights did not work and the gearshift lever would not come out of park when I stepped on the brake. In a pinch, you can turn the key to the on position, place the shift lever in neutral, and then start your engine. Back to the problem... In my case, one wire came loose from the connector that plugs into the brake light switch. This switch is located near the upper end of the brake pedal, where it's attached to the pedal pin and to the power brake booster pushrod. I was able to solder the loose wire back onto the terminal on the connector. To do that I had to cut both wires, remove the connector, do the repair and reinstall the connector with crimped butt connectors. I also replaced the brake light switch while I was there. You have to remove the panel below your steering column for access, and you also have to be limber, as this switch is hard to reach. Good luck.
why or how do i find the brake light switch on my 1997 nissan 200sx. how do i chane it out.
