look on CRSX buddy. Sounds like its an automatic so i would guess it has something to do with the wiring. Do you have an after market stereo? Check the fuses, see if any are blown.

Or an aftermarket alarm hooked up to the brake switch?! Not sure how those things wire up? That's why I asked. Maybe it fried that wiring...check fuses like suggested first, and then the brake switch. Is there anything else your aware of that isn't working?

There's no s/b on it. Just thought Id checked for ya. (work at Acura).

Check fuse 8 at the under dash fuse panel. Also fuse 9 under hood. Would be good fuses to start checking.

I'll continue to edit the post if you need me to, I'm sitting at work in front of the computer ahaha! Not working.
