Chad:

Yes, you are correct.
I found the switch, and tighten the connector a bit. basically the break
lights turned on and I was able to shift to drive. Of course this was a
very short-lived victory, because I believe this time the switch is gone
for good. I'll get the part from the dealer tomorrow, and install it
myself.
Thanks Chad.

First of all I misspelled brakes, I wrote breaks. Thanks Elmo P. Shagnasty
for correcting me.

The good news is that I was able to fix the problem. This is what I did:

-Removed Horn/Brake fuse (for safety reasons)

-Disconnected and removed brake-light switch

-Carefully disassembled the brake-light switch (There's a small spring in
there, make sure you don't loose it)

-The copper terminals in the switch were covered with dirt and dust,
preventing the flow of electrons. With a small peace of sand-paper I
removed the dirt from the terminals and made them shine again. Make sure
you don't overdo it.

-Put the switch back together

-Tested the switch with a battery and a CPU fan that I found in my gadget
box. Ideally a multimeter would do, but I did not have one at hand. In fact
there are two switches in this unit, one normally open and the other is
normally closed.

-Installed the brake-light switch back in the car

-Put the fuse back

-Put the key in the ignition, pressed the brake, and the brake light turned
on (Nice to have you back)

-Started the car, pressed on the brake, and shifted from park to drive with
no problem (That is sweet)

I'll buy a replacement just in case the switch acts up again, but at least I
won't be taking time off work to fix this problem like I though I was.

Sorry about all the blah blah
Thanks,
Will.
