Hi guys, first time posting so excuse my ignorance. My mazda wont shift out of park. The brake lights don't come on when I press the pedal, so the car doesn't think I'm pressing the brake and trying to shift out of park. It will shift out eventually (waiting 5-10mins or pumping the brakes alot) and when it does, the brake lights come back on. However they completely turn off again after I get it into drive. Looking around online it seems that the brake light switch could be the problem. How would I be able to tell if that's the case? I am very inexperienced with cars but I don't want to take it to a shop and them rip me off for a $20 part. So in plain english (or maybe pictures), how do I test the brake light switch?
Thanks to all who can help and give any advice
