Did you check the fuse box? I can't say for sure, but I thought there was a fuse for the brake lights.

shift interlock

The shift interlock system may be preventing you from moving the shift lever. You should be able to override the lock by pulling out a small plastic tab on the shift console near the shift lever. You should see a white plastic tab; press this tab with a screwdriver, etc while pulling on the shifter. You will need to do this every time you put the lever into park until you find the problem.

Check your Radio, Stop and ECU-IG fuses. Are the brake lights working?

Yes, I'm using my car now pressing that tab all the time. Brake lights dos not work. I checked the swicth in the brake and is good. I checked every fuses in the box in the driver seat and everything looks good.

Try to determine if power is getting to the stop light switch. If no, this is your problem. Brake light power comes from the Stop fuse, through the stop light switch and to the stop light bulbs. It also goes through the switch to the Shift Lock Computer that controls the shift lock interlock.
