If I had to guess that rubber piece (which I found on the floor under the break pedal) is causing most of the problems not necessarily the brake pedal sensor itself. Apparently it breaks and falls off causing the brake pedal sensor not contacting the break pedal. I was able to use felt that is put on the bottom the legs of chairs and place it in between the tip of the sensor and where it is supposed to make contact with the brake pedal. I used a small scewdriver to push the sensor tip back to make room for the felt pad. Placing the adhesive side of the felt on the brake pedal helps to keep it in place. I'm not sure how long this will last but this works until you can get professional help.

I had a unique situation where, for some reason, one of the 4 cables that's part of the connector became damaged and frayed. Possibly in-part to some grounding issues, as it was a negative cable. As a result, shifting out of park would work sometimes and not work. Over time it, got worse and very rarely ever did. I tested the switch after removing it, to replace it with a new one for the sake of it , and I didn't get any continuity from one of the negative leads, which was the pin that connects to the wire with the frayed cable. So my guess is that it was causing a bad connection and as a result, killed the switch. The pins used for cruise control was fine though. Never mash your brake pedals excessively when you have this issue in hopes that you can finally get it out of park. May create additional, unwanted damage; Thus means more money out of your pocket. Edit: I went to a dealer to get an estimate to diagnose & repair the issues and it came to just over $300. Did it myself for $30 for a wire & new switch.

My breaking switch was causing transmission problems. Car sometimes would not move in reverse and when it did it suddenly would put on the breaks without me stepping on the break paddle! Freaking annoying untill I got the schematic of the switch for the 2007 Corolla and found out how the switch sends signals to the PCM which controls the ABS system and ECU! My believe was that the switch was faulty as my scanner detected the code and was causing the PCM to automatically enable the ABS like a ghost! Took it out and sprayed some electric cleaner all over and readjust the all switch where when the pedal is not pressed the button of the switch is free from any pressing. This fixed the problem and has been running like it was before! After 2 weeks on this fix I changed the transmission fluid and filter and Corolla runs even more smoothly! I ended up replacing the switch to a genuine updated version for peace of mind! Yes a faulty "Breaking Switch" causes transmission problems and most mechanics will fail to detect the issue!

Before you do anything… Try this… My situation was my brake lights worked but I was having trouble getting the stick shift out of park. I sprayed some WD-40 on that button at the bottom of the switch and that was what the problem was! The damn thing was stuck… That’s all it needed. May not fix it for you but it sure did for me! Certainly worth trying before you do anything else… Now if your brake lights won’t shut off that is something else probably. But it was an instant fix.

Brake lights in my car are temporary will only work for 20 minutes after a cold start. Afterwards no brake lights and gear won't shift from P. Replaced Body control module and brake light switch many times still the same problem. Electrician is always able to get the brake lights to work manually / bypassing the switch. On testing everything seems to be working perfectly from body control module all the way to "just before the brake pedal area". It's not the switch, is there something else close to the brake light switch that might cause a temperamental brake light? Any ideas please?
