Hi, apologize for the lengthy descriptions, but here's the situation.
Problem 1:
I believe something might be up with brake-shift interlock; I'm unable to shift from park (seems locked) unless I go through the whole "override" method, which involves me having to put the key in the ignition and turning it to the "On" position, then shift it into neutral and starting the vehicle from there, enabling me to freely shift smoothly. But once I shift it back into park I have to go through that whole process again in order for me to shift again from park. Checked fuses, swapped em with new ones, didn't fix it. Brake lights work/respond fine. Not entirely sure what else to check, nor how to go about fixing this issue. Also after this started happening, my cruise control stopped working as well.
Problem 2:
My turn signals have also stopped working a while ago, however the hazard lights still work. Not sure what's causing this or how to fix. Again swapped out fuses for new ones, got a new multifunction switch, and bulbs. Went and got the turn signal relay (EP-27), but cannot figure out how/where to get to the old one to swap em or if that'll fix it.

Hoping for a solution to these problems, any pictures or illustrations are also welcome and appreciated. Thanks for your time.
