Brake lights don't work can't shift out of park

Hey everyone. It's been quite sometime since I've been on here. I've got a bit of a problem. My brake lights do not work nor do the brake lights on my trailer. I have to push the break bypass button every time to get the truck out of park. Out side of looking at the fuses I have no idea what to look for to resolve this issue.

 

Does this happen with the trailer unplugged?

 

it sounds like you have a short somewhere. Have you recently changed any break Bob's or done anything to your wiring?

 

Bwahahaha talk to text is horrible...
*brake bulbs

 

Yes with trailer unplugged aswell with the 7-5 adapter removed. No bulbs or wiring changes recently.

 

Your brake switch probably went bad. Short across it and see if it works then

 

We're is this brake switch?
Also I can hear a click in the steering column when trying to shift out of P

 

It's behind the brake pedal

 

It is either the brake switch, brake fuse or the shift lock solenoid. Switch is on the brake pedal under the dash.

 

Ok I'll give it a shot. Thanks for some direction.

 

Thanks for the help. Ended up being a fuse. Ended up being the one labeled stop. I passed right over it yesterday when chasing down my problem

 

With that fuse blown you had no voltage to the brake switch and no power to the shift lock solenoid.

Good job.

 

Well the fuse blew. I threw a larger 15 amp fuse in just to get Home with brake lights. The 15 will last a couple of weeks before blowing. I’m in the field working and the abs light came on and the fuse blew. I had been trying to find the time to investigate further but but I’ve been way too busy. I had planned to look into the aftermarket trailer wire plug I had to splice in but now I’m not sure since the abs light has came on. The brake switch maybe shorting out? Going bad?

 

The ABS light can come on because of a brake pedal switch / stop fuse fault, as it is an input signal to the ABS module.

Most likely you have a short to ground elsewhere - your trailer connection, a rubbed wire, a shorted brake light bulb even (rare, but it can happen), stop switch, or even the shift lock solenoid itself, listed in the order of probability.

 

So i figured it out. The brake wires in my camper shell got shorted out. Thanks everyonne
