There is a relationship between the brake light and the shift
selector. A wiring problem there can have an effect. A worn shift
selector solenoid can also cause a problem. I think your problem is
probably mentioned here:
"While the Automatic Shift Lock Solenoid's positioning of the Shift
Lock Control is the heart of the safety system that prevents an
inadvertent engagement of the transmission while it is in Park, it's
not the whole system. The Park/Neutral Position Switch must properly
feed current to the Stop Lamp Switch, which in turn supplies current
(when depressed)to actuate the Shift Lock Solenoid. Most intermittent
problems will be the result of an electrical wiring difficulty (poor
connections, frayed wires, bad ground). There also is a mechanical
synchronization between the Shift Lock Solenoid and the Shift Lock
Control, which is the mechanism that actually locks the gear shift
selector. If it is damaged or out of alignment, you can also encounter
an inability to shift out of Park. The short answer to your question,
is yes. A totally inoperative Shift Lock Solenoid will prevent
engagement of the transmission consistently. Since you have an
intermittent difficulty, it is more likely the cause is a wiring
malady. It requires a check of the power distribution to the full
system and a check of the grounding in the circuit. If the system's
electrical circuit is fully functional, one must suspect the interface
between the Shift Lock
Solenoid and Shift Lock Control, which is adjustable."

I think you can take this information down to your nearest Pep Boys,
Auto Zone or some other parts house and show it to the parts guy and
he'll know right away exactly what you need to do for your problem.
Let me know if this answers your question.
