Check the safety switch. If the fuse for the Brake lights is blown it will also affect the safety switch; if the problem is intermittent then there is a possible short in the system or a faulty switch that needs replacement.

Why won't a dogem car move until the pedal is pressed down even though the power supply is on?

Assuming the Dodge has an automatic transmission, the transmission may be low on ATF or the transmission is on its way out.

What do you use to choose forward or reverse gears in an automatic-transmission car?

The shifter. D is for drive which is forward and R is for reverse. N is for neutral. You have to have the breaks pressed down all the way in order to move out of park and into D or R.


What causes transmission to shift all gears under 20 miles per hour?

Your transmission does not know how far you have the accelerator pressed. Some cars have a cable that runs between the throttle and transmission to 'tell' the transmission how far you have the gas pedal pressed. Some cars use electronic sensors to 'tell' the transmission how far you have the pedal pushed. It sounds like your transmission 'thinks' your gas pedal is not pressed at all. This will cause the shift points to occur exactly as you describe them. Look for an unhooked cable between the transmission and throttle.
