eatingupblacktop Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Besides your button possibly being jammed, the problem might be your stop light switch which is mounted on the brake pedal bracket. It sends a signal to the ecu that the brakes have been applied in order to allow shifting of the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
