Moved your post to a new thread.

Can you start the car and get the transmission out of park?

I'd start at the brake light switch on the brake pedal. The video below shows the location.

The switch part pushes against a plastic stopper to open/close the switch. That plastic piece can break, then the switch will never close. Try using a small screwdriver to manually push in the plunger to see if your brake lights work. Do the brake lights turn on?

Unplug the connector to the brake pedal switch. Use a piece of wire to jump the red to the wht/blk wire. Do your brake lights turn on?

I started googling and it was quickly going down the rabbit hole... lol. Anyways, horn worked and can get into gear. So, I went to check the bulbs and ALL of them were bad. Replaced them all and problem solved. Kinda weird how all of them were out simultaneously. I hope it doesn’t end up being more serious later on. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Thanks @PAhonda for the help. Might have to go that route one day.

Wow. I would think the bulbs would be the first part of troubleshooting. Great you got your issue resolved
