Default HELP! 95 Accord Won't Start

Went to start my 95 Honda Accord (Automatic) with 303,000 miles this morning and nothing. No lights on the dash, no turning over, no nothing. Horn and lights won't work either.

Clearly makes me think it's a battery issue, but I didn't leave the lights on overnight or anything and the car won't even get out of park for me to try and put in in Neutral and get a jump (Cars were parked on either side of me, so I needed to put it in Neutral and roll it out before I could jump it since my cables are short)

Any idea what this might be?

Thank you!

There is a "shift lock replease"...just beside the shifter, insert the key, then you can get it to N and push it back.

Thanks guys!

Got the battery charged. They said it's still fine, something just drained it.

So I reconnected the battery last night and noticed the brake lights lit up immediately and will not shut off.

So it's my brake lights that drained it. I can't figure out how to shut them off or why they are on. Anyone have a hint?

Thank you, much!

Under hood, pull 20 amp fuse....labeled stoplights.

Funny looking crayon thing in the floor board under the pedals...blue color.....Bump stop is gone. Nothing to close the brake light switch. Go to the delaer and get a new plug...46505-SA5-000, should run about 3~4 bucks.

i agree with Poorman ,,, sounds like the brake pedal bump stop has worn out or missing
,, if it is still there and in good condition could be a shorted brake switch or a possible brake wire shorted to power ,but i think it is the pedal bump stopper seen a bunch of those fail
