Toyota Camry: 92 Camry shift lock problem

I had a 92 4 banger and this problem happened twice to me, the override
button worked only sometimes. I eventually had to get a new shifter,
somthing i guess happens to them.

position, 

Old Brown (90) had a similar problem. It turned out to be the switch which
is activated by the brake pedal. It wore out and had to be replaced
($125.00 @ Toyota). I lived with the problem for a while until I realized
that this switch also controls the brake lights!

BTW: It can be replaced without disassembling the dash (not very easily
according to the dealer).
