thanx i'll check that in the morning....yup shift lock...but i mean when i turn on the light in the dash/ turn on the parking lights.....the shift lock clicks without me pressing on the brakes.....

so i hope i can find the problem soon......because i don't want to bring it to the Nissan Dealership.

thanx again
