Break switch or break stopper
 

how do u know if your break swith went or if it's just the stopper? I
pulled the Breakfuse so my battery would not burn out & now the horn
does not work & I can not get the car to go into reverse or drive.

It's easy to check the stopper - the brake switch should rest against a
stopper when the brake pedal is all the way up. If the stopper is missing
the switch will be poking through the hole the stopper belongs in.

I assume the BRAKE lights are on all the time?

Crawl under the dash and look at the top of the BRAKE pedal. At the BRAKE
switch there will be a black rubber coin-like thingy about the size of a
nickel or dime. If that has a hole in it, has shifted or fallen off this
will be readily apparent.
