Default HELP MY CAR SOMETIMES IS STUCK IN PARK

Sometimes when I crank my car I am not able to put it into drive. When this happens I have also noticed that my brake lights are not working. Sometimes it goes into drive just fine other times I have to keep pusing the brakes. I just bought new brakes and a brake line. Does anyone know what this could be? I am getting ready to travel and don't want to get stranded on the highway.

The brake light switch is located under the dash. You will see a plunger type switch that contacts the brake pedal arm.

Sounds like a fusr to me. It's for your reverse lights, will lock car in park. Had it happen to me a couple times. Try replacing it.

Sometimes I have to wait awhile after pressing the brake for me to be able to get it out of park. It is happenng more frequently. Where is this fuse located?

Before I had my auto to manual swap that happened everynow and then to me aswell. What I did was put my key in the shift lock hole by the shifter and pulled it out of park and put it in neutral and started it from there. I am not sure of the EXACT problem but that it was I did to get it out.
