Possibly the worst answer ever, sorry but that's not even close. Brake light can come on for 3 reasons in most cars: 1. low brake fluid (may only be noticable around corners and accel/decel) and if fluid is low have your brake pads checked before topping it off to avoid a spill later, 2. parking brake on (or faulty switch/wiring that thinks its on), 3. a difference in pressure between two sides of the line which is almost always cause by a leak somewhere in the system
Answerusually it is because the altenatoring is not giving off enough amps (Faulty) so it starts to shutoff paower to unnessary items one at a time until it completely fails.If the ABS and brake light are coming on while driving, this is an indicator that it is time to get your brakes checked and replaced. If not, the brakes will wear out causing you to not be able to stop.

There was a manufacturing problem with the original equipment brake light sockets which allowed many to fail prematurely. Saturn attempted to replace all of the brake light assemblies through a recall campaign. If your brake light assembly has not already been replaced, contact your local Saturn dealer.

Yes, a blown brake light fuse causes the shift interlock to malfunction. If the interlock can't tell if the brake is depressed or not, it won't shift out of park. The brake light fuse is a 15A in the engine bay fuse box.
