Brake light switch under the brake pedal. Look for it, and see if it is
disconnected, out of place or broken. Then fix it. It is there to
prevent you driving away when your brake lights are not working.

on the console next to your shifter is a slot, says shift lock or
something to that effect. Stick another key down in there to press a
lever and that will allow you to unlock your shifter. Mines been doing
that forever, I consider it my 'gehtto antitheft'
