no. the brake shift interlock solenoid get an input from the brake switch. if you have a floor shift model...i have seen this wire break under the shift lever. you should hear this solenoid click when the brake pedal is pressed.


if the brake pedal is sinking, there is a separate problem...maybe a leaking line or wheel cylinder.... or bad master internally bleeding down.
