Shift Lock and Brake Lights Dont Work??
i'm at work right now and i dont have the car with me but i'm just trying to look up what could possibly be wrong with my car. its a 97 impreza outback. the brake lights dont work and i cant take my car out of park. the fuse is good. when i searched, someone said something about a little black box on top of the brake pedal. is this probably the problem or could it be something else?

The black box I think the person is this.

Well I would first check the brake light switch.
If the brake light switch is no good, no signal sent to interlock module = no come out of park. |
