Default Help! Brake light is not working VSC/etc... Lights are on.

Hello,
I need help! My break light isn't working. Also my VSC/ABS/VSC-Off is on. I can't put my car reverse/drive/n anymore. I think it's something to do with the fuse. Can anyone help me out? I had this situation before, but i change out the break light fuse out and it worked perfect. I tried doing that again. Still the same. No bueno....

duby1,

Check the stop-fuse in the driver side foot well. The same thing happened to me and the cause was the stop-fuse

could be the parking brake switch...its located in the footwell area...looks like its behind the dial that controls the console display brightness.

Yea, that does make sense, but would that fix the VSC/ABS/VSC-Off lights that are on as well? It happen to me before. i just switch that fused and it work again. Everything worked perfect and now when i switch that fuse... it doesn't work anymore, but i am going to check that part out as well.
