Abstract
An apparatus and method is provided for an improved brake shift interlock system which eliminates the need of a redundant park position switch. The number of components is minimized due to an incorporation of a latch within the brake shift interlock system. The apparatus also eliminates the need of a cam and wiring harness, as well as manual labor traditionally required to install these components.
