I have a 99 taraus with a slew of problems and here is the most recent one. With the car started and running I can't shift out of park. If I just turn the key a little then I can shift into neutral and start the car then shifts fine this would be ok, but I have no brake lights when this happens also radio dosen't work, windows won't work, speedo dosen't work (RPM, temp, and gas guage's work).
Before this started when ever I would turn off the car the door ajar alarm would continue to go off until I played around with the ignition a bit. Even then if I slammed the door hard or something the alarm would start back up. Also before the problem started and I turned on the car I would hear a bunch of clicking sounds from the brake pedal area and when I would press the brake the various insturment listed about would switch off when I released the brake they would switch on now it dosen't work at all.
I tried to wiggle around the wires and connectors attached to the brake pad but that didn't work. There appeared to be two switches, a lower one which appeared to tilt and such and something that was blue in color.
I personally think that a switch or something is out which is causing the car to think the brake pedal isn't down hence no brake lights and inablity to shift from park. As for the other things who knows I just want my brake lights to come on dang it!!!! Thanks for the help people
