no they aren't and i saw on another site that it could be the transmission
lock switch on the brake pedal...
where is that and is it something i can change or do i have to go to a repair
shop?
it also said it could be the multifunction switch...where's that?

In that case, check the brake light fuse first, if that is OK, check the
switch on the brake pedal..

Either on the brake pedal itself, or a pressure switch in the hydraulic
lines.

If you look up under the dash at the brake pedal mounting bracket, you
should find the switch, it's up there somewhere!
