Brake Light Switch Fault – No‑Shift from Park and Roadside Intervention MyMechanic

When a Brake Light Switch Stops You from Driving

• Pressing the brake without switch feedback leaves the shift‑lock engaged—lever won’t budge.
• The switch signals pedal press for brake lights and the interlock; failure immobilises the vehicle.
• Common at tolls, RNRs, or petrol stations—plan a calm, space‑safe response.
