I had the same problem. I could not pull the car out of park and the brake lights stopped working. I researced for abit and found out it was caused by the a bad brake switch. I replaced it and everything works fine now.

Ok if you get on your back and look under the dash above the brake pedal you will see a switch there. there are four wires going into it. When hit the brake it depreses this switch. I bought one from the honda dealer for $53.
