Stuck in Park, no brake lights when engine is off

What is your question?

Car is stuck in park, and it is not the spring on the gear box. I know, because I bought a new one and have the same issue. Probably unrelated, but the brake lights do not work unless the engine is running. Shouldn't they work regardless ?
