Brake Light Switch Fault – No‑Shift from Park and Roadside Intervention | MyMechanic

Stranded in Malaysia because the selector won’t move out of Park? A failed brake light switch can keep the shift‑lock engaged—handle it safely with expert help.

MyMechanic offers trusted roadside assistance for SG‑registered cars across the border—on‑site diagnostics, safe workarounds, and recovery if replacement is needed.

When a Brake Light Switch Stops You from Driving

  • Pressing the brake without switch feedback leaves the shift‑lock engaged—lever won’t budge.
  • The switch signals pedal press for brake lights and the interlock; failure immobilises the vehicle.
  • Common at tolls, RNRs, or petrol stations—plan a calm, space‑safe response.

How MyMechanic Assists on the Spot

  • On‑site diagnostics to confirm a brake light switch fault.
  • Temporary workarounds to safely release the shift lock.
  • Electrical checks to confirm brake light operation and related safety systems.
  • Towing support if a full replacement is required at a workshop.

Why It’s Common on Cross‑Border Trips

  • Heat, age, or worn contacts can cause sudden failure without warning.
  • Long drives mask early hints; once failed, the shifter remains locked in Park.

  • Fast responses for expressways, cities, and remote stops.
  • Electrical‑system expertise for safe intervention.
  • Temporary fixes and coordinated workshop recovery.
