It might be the brake pedal switch
Depress the brake pedal to shift.
You have to step on the brake pedal to shift to any gear from "Park"
No, on most newer cars you also have to press the brake pedal to shift out of Park.
Yes there is. It is called a brake pedal interlock and the part number is 2609-4827
The transmission is equipped with a relay switch that senses when the brake is applied. If the sensor is bad the transmission will not shift out of park.
The clutch pedal.
Check the operation of the brake light switch located usuallyat the upper section of the brake pedal under dash area
Can't say that I fully understand the question. Rear window brake? Brakes don't work? Please explain. Does brake pedal go to the floor? No brake fluid in Master cylinder? due to leak. Brake pedal has normal travel but no stopping? Worn brake linings. Clicking in console could be normal, sounds like shift interlock is working properly. Allowing you to shift from "park" into other shift positions. Have to step on brake pedal to allow shift.
Try your brake lights. There is a sensor under the brake pedal that will go off if you don't have any. This should be an easy fix.
There SHOULD be a switch on the brake pedal that disengages the gear shift locking solenoid. Once you press on the brake pedal, the gear shift should move easily. If not, either the switch or solenoid has failed, or one of them is out of adjustment.
