If they won't turn off, then more likely it's the rubber pad on the backside of the brake pedal that failed. When this happens, the pedal arm is no longer thick enough to reach the limit switch. You can verify by looking up along the brake pedal arm - you should be able to see two switches, one of which the pedal doesn't meet when NOT depressed. If you push in the switch and the brake lights go out, then you a) have the right switch and b) need to replace the (inexpensive) pad that mounts to the pedal arm. [Yes, I realize this question is six months old; just thought since it's been viewed so many times, someone should address it for future reference]

the problem is the park interlock safety mechanism is sticking,( keeps u from shifting out of park unless the brake is pressed) it has nohing to do with restarting the engine several times. Check and verify the brake lights work is the first thing to do.

1998 Nissa Sentra brake light & battery light come on

I had the same problem with my 96 Nissan/ infinity g20.
If I turned on the ac the brake & battery lights came on, the AC fan would work but the air did not blow cold. Disconnected the battery for a few hours to reset the computer. That solved the problem.
Now, no lights, and the AC blows cold.
