Why does my dodge Dakota not shift into gear It will not come out of park And the brake lights arent working either. Could there be a connection?
There is what is called a brake sensor. This sensor has to engage to sent a signal to the transmission to release the pawl so that you can shift it. Replace the brake pedal sensor. It is usually on the top of the pedal arm upward under the dash. This will also cause the brake lights not to work. Good luck.
