I couldn't find a fuse of that description, probably because mines a disco I ? my windows work, so do the front and rear windshield wipers. and my brake lights are working as well. this would happen after putting a full tank of gas in.

pull off the harness at the switch see if you can jumper the wires, then try to start it/ engage drive

the switch is attached near the brake pedal lever about 10" from where your foot would be...yuo'll see it....it's the only one there, the one with the vaccum hose attached to it is for the cruise.

ok I just pulled my spare switch out of the glove box and checked it with my ohm meter.....there are four terminals, holding the switch with the pins facing you and the half round connection to the left......the 2 pins on the left are connected untill you push the button.......the two pins on the right are connected untill you push the button....I'm assuming the you need a jumper wire to connect the two pins on the right together and the two pins on the left together.....one is probably the brake lights and the other is likely the solenoid for the shift lever
