a buddy of mine just called me up because his 1997 f250 7.3 turbo diesel wont shift out of park. its not the tranny because he got it out of park by disconnecting the cable underneath the truck. he also found out that the brake lites wont go on. he just got these two problems today. weve checked all the fuses. could you please help him.

 

brake light switch? This also activates the park lock actuator on shifter.
