1) The brake light switch behind the brake pedal needs to be replaced. The brake lights are tied to a solenoid that prevents the shifter from being moved without the brake pedal being depressed. If you put on the brakes and the brake lights do not light up, this is a likely cause of the problem (of course, check your fuses before replacing the switch). If you put your brakes on and the brake lights **do** light up, then this is not your problem.

2) There is a "C" clip under the shifter that can become dislodged, or break. The overview of the repair is to remore the shifter handle cover, look for the clip and replace. Check the manual for exact procedure.
