Start by checking fuses. It is a power release (i.e. will not work when there is no power). I'm sure there is a wiring diag on here for your car. Is anything else electronic not working inside the car? (check all A/C, radio, cruise, etc)

yank30265,

check your "stop" fuse - this should be under the dash by the driver's side. The fuse is a 30amp (IIRC). If the fuse checks out OK, then check your rear taillights and brake lights. Any one of those can trip your circuit and disable the brake/shifter unlock switch. If the brake/taillights check out OK, then you may have to check your brake switch itself.
