ABS, VSC, and Trac Off lights are on, won't go into gear
What is your question?
Wife says veh slid a bit on a turn in the snow at which time she applied brakes and lights came on. Drove home fine from there. Next morning, I start van and won't go into gear, above mentioned lights are on and no rear brake lights. 30k miles but over the 3 year mark for warranty coverage. I am told may be the Brake light switch..? I see a recall for this in th 2011 model. Is this something I can replace? Where is switch located. Thanks for assistance.

The brake light switch is up the arm of the brake pedal.
There are two switches - an ABS brake light switch and a conventional brake light switch. The warning lights will come on when one of the switches has failed. The ABS system is seeking redundant activation of both switches to make sure the system is working properly and prevent erroneous activation of the ABS system.
I would check the brake light switch and wiring connector first. It may or may not need replaced. Based on your circumstances, there may be more to it than just a suddenly faulty switch.
