Brake light will not go off unless I take the fuse for it out. I was pushing the brake down and then up and it would shut off but now that doesnt work. If I push the botton for the brake light in, it goes off but when I stop pushing in on it, the brake light comes back on. It stays on while driving and when in park. I was told it could be a sensor.
No sensor involved , brake lamp switch probably needs to be adjusted ,maybe . Learning to test is the way to a fix ,.not by i was told it could be a sensor . Brake lights stay on Not saying that this is your problem but look under dash at the switch .Check the switch an pedal arm .
Your brake light switch is stuck on. it is a mechanical switch that operates similar to a push button. It is mounted somewhere near the top and in back of the brake pedal bar.

this is your brake light switch, it locates above the brake pedal, and the blake button is depressed when you push the brakes on. it goes on the left side of the pedal arm and is notched into place by turning it

Check engine for vacuum leaks at all hoses, hose connections, intake gasket etc. I have also seen retarded engine timing produce low vacuum. If no leaks, check anything in control system that controls timing...however, I believe you will find a leak before you need to go there. Also check Idle control valve and egr valve for malfunction or blockages.

Have you checked your brake fluid level? Sometimes, when the brake fluid is just a <little> too low, the brake error light will come on momentarily.
Sometimes parking brakes also stick a little (the cables tend to bind occasionally). This could also be your problem (although I rather doubt it).
Failing this, a quick check of the rotors, calipers, pads, fluid levels and system operation would be advisable.
Hope this helps,

Three things make the engine run. Air, fuel, spark. One or more of those is not present and the engine stops.pull a plug wire off, put a screwdriver in the end, have a friend turn over the engine while u hold the screwdriver near a metal part of the engine(dont touch the wire or screwdriver) look to see if there is a blueish white spark. If no then u have to trouble shoot the ignition. if yes... take off the air filter, spray some starter fluid in the air entrance and try to start. If it starts u have a fuel problem.
If the car has high mileage the timing belt could have broke
SOURCE: Stuck in park. What could be the problem?
There is a "safety" Shift interlock.... that prevents the transmission from being shifted out of park without pressing the brake.
Either the microswitch that activates the solenoid has failed or is out of adjustment/broken... or the solenoid, itself, has failed.
There should be a manual override near the shifter. usually a rubber plug that is easily removable. Inside will be a button to manually unlock the shifter.
Check your owner's manual for the exact location.
