I replaced a passenger side fog lamp bulb and a rear courtesy bulb. I blew the # 17 fuse (15amp) in the driver side eng. fuse box. I replaced it and afterword had no brake lights and was locked in park. I removed the brake switch bracket and saw that it didn't resemble the one in any post in any forums. It didn't have the white plastic part with the two micro switches and cam that could be removed separately from the bracket by removing a bolt and loosening a nut. Mine had the two micro switches and the cam directly attached to the bracket. The switches tested good. I also re-plugged the assembly and held the cam actuated while starting the car and attempting to shift out of Park. The brake lights will not light and the shift is still locked, With ignition off I get the beeping when I try to shift out of Park. I have no error messages or Engine Check message. The car dives and runs fine once I defeat the Park lock out soienoid. I checked all fuses, did a hard reset by disconnecting the Neg battery cable and touching it to the plus battery cable. I reset the switch on the relay in the drivers side fuse box. I have read all related forums and now am at a loss as to my next move. Is this a relay issue? I am a retired electronics tech so you can be technical.
