Sounds like a bad brake switch. Not sure where it's at, but probably a mechanical switch near the pedal.

exactly what robert said..

In Nissans brake lights and shift lock are on same curcuit.

Check all fuses carefully, if one is burnt you might be bale to fix.

If it keeps buring out trace the circuit and fix problem.

In the meantime you should have a mechanical shift-ock release switch in my car its on the console on floor that houses the "shifter" a button you can push.

Am not sure 240 has that but should..

Even If no fuses burnt your problem is still on that circuit just wont burn thru fuse is still same circuit.
