since it won't let me shift the gears now, i've been thinking it might have something to do with a brake switch, but i know a lot more about social security disability claims than i do about cars...

Have somsone stand behind car and see if your brake lights work~

Doesnt totally rule it out but mostly.

You can also just replace it for like 8 bucks and 5 minutes of time.

So it doesn't start or you can't shift?

This.

A brake light switch isn't stopping it from starting unless it's a push button start

We'd have an answer if there was a home/auto sub forum.

Mods?!?!

Good Luck.

tried that and also shifting it in and out of p, n, d,2 and 1...

but that was before, now it won't even let me move the damned shifter...

well, that's got to be a possibility too, i guess...

the auto electric guy said he checked everything but couldn't find what exactly was wrong because it wouldn't act up for him despite trying off and on for most of a day...

I agree and good idea go bo

Plus if any of these auto mechanics are in the Kansas City metro area I would rather give them my business as I feel they would be honest and give me a reasonable bill versus taking it to just any auto mechanic and you don't know if you're getting the big shaft or not.
