Hey everyone!
I am new to the forum and already need your big help. This morning was trying to start my car and it would not start.Can't go to the dealer cause my warranty is gone.I went online check couple responses and they all say "Brake switch" so I bought one and replaced it and nothing happened.The car is trying to crank but won't start.Starter is good,key is good,foot pedal is on and everything seems normal. Already got myself a different fuse boxes( inside and outside 1&2) and trying to swith it to see if that might be an issue.
If anyone knows what's wrong please share

Welcome to AF, bumer! Not quite sure what the problem is but I will move the thread to the appropriate area for your issue.

Yesterday did all I could to get the car started but no luck.Today I will try to see some mechnics and ask around if anybody had an issue like mine.So far no replies from you guys so I guess got to do eveything on my own...
To be continue....

Brake light switch is a common issue. It might be worth your time to pick-up another just to be sure. Are you showing and engine codes? Did this happen overnight - got up one morning and it wouldn't start? Not to question your abilities, but you installed the new switch correctly? Are you able to check voltage to the switch? If you're as unsure about what the issue is, just like any issue with any vehicle problem area or not, bring it to a mechanic. It's nice to save a dollar by doing things yourself, but you can also do a lot more damage by guessing at it.

My mechanic will check it out on Wednesday and I will let you know what was the problem cause I just don't know what else to try. Seems like everything is going bad in life and it has to start with my car

I wouldn't look at it that way. Look at the car you drive around. Pretty nice if you ask me. It's just going to take a shop maybe an hours worth of labor to figure it out, probably less.
