2. When the engine is off, the transmission stick is stuck at the P position. In order to be able to move that, I turn the ignition keys a little, get the stick to position N and only then be able to turn the engine on. And if I get it to P position, it does not move from there unless i turn the engine off and repeat the above process. Any ideas?
thanks in advance

I've had the same problems with my 2000 Taurus SE. I just found the problem with the brake lights. One of the wires coming out if the switch mounted on the brake pedal was broken. It must have broken from the back and forth action of the pedal Anyway I stripped the insulation back spliced a wire to the end with a terminal and replaced it. Now my brake lights work!!!
I'm going to work on the other problem now. I plan to remove the top plastic cover directly behind steering wheel. I suspect that some sort of cam has moved from its original position.
Hope that you find the same solution with your brake lights.
