It's the brake switch. It tells your break lights to come on.
If there is no brake lights on a 1998 Mazda pickup, check the fuse. If the fuse has blown, the lights will not work.
try the brake switch on the back of the brake pedal
Check the fuse for the brake lights. If that fuse is blown it will not come out of park.
Where's the fuse situated for brake lights on a Peugeot partner 1998
What fuse controls the brake lights on a 1998 Chevy Camaro? It should be labeled on the fuse block.
I have a 1998 Accord and I think if you cannot get the shifter out of park, it is a problem with the brake light switch. I need to look into that, but currently, I just stick a key into the shift lock and unlock it to shift out of park. I believe that turning on the headlights (with the tail lights) will also make sure that the brake lights work. Anyways, pry the plastic border around the shifter on the console off. It is on the console to the left of the transmission letters (P, N, D4, D3, 1, 2).
Bad brake light switch
Blown fuse or defective brake light switch.
The automatic brake shift interlock by-pass instructions are in the owners manuel for the 1998's, roughly page 104-106. Check your brake lights, if they are not working and car will not shift out of park, the brake interlock switch needs replacing. I noticed the smell of melting aluminum just prior to mine going out for the 4th time. Mechanic thinks he has it right this time, we'll see.
