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.
