My shifter (auto) wouldn't budge one day, and I couldn't hear the "click" sound when you press down on the brakes. My horn didn't work either.

I checked the fuses and the "Horn/Stop" fuse under the hood was blown. Replaced, but still blows when I step down on the brakes. I've gone through a box of fuses trying to locate the problem!

My brake lights aren't working as well.

So I checked the brake pedal to see how it engages the circuit and I notice a dangling piece of metal in the shave of a curved V on the right side. It doesn't seem connected to anything.. but looks out of place..

Any ideas??
