No brake light, dash showing abs and traction

As the tittle saids, I'm getting no brake light when I step on the brake, I can't take it out of P because it's not sensing the brake. Fuse 4,6,14,15 looks good.
Anyone know what's the problem?

You might check fuses 13,16 and 26.

Check the brake pedal switch.

If the brake pedal switch is stuffed, the you will get no brake lights, wont come out of park or start as ecu wont detect brakecpedal pressed and may upset vsc traction system as it wont know brake pressed

Could be brake switch at pedal or the wiring\plug

before I went to bed, I took off the brake light switch.. is the button suppose to be like non clickable button? I expected it to have a click. Going to the shop now to use a continuity tester on the switch and read some obd2

A friend of mine had this same exact issue and it was the brake switch that needed to be replaced.

just checked, no continuity coming from switch. No difference in meter when pressed or not

Also it's loose like crazy, is there a spring feed back or something? Like it's suppose to feel like a mechanical keyboard ?

Update: turns out is the brake light switch under the peddle.. we cracked it open and it was burnt.. we pushed out the contacts now its good.. temporary fix so I don't get a ticket. called wholesale parts through shop and it will be here tomorrow. There's only one in california from Toyota other than that it will have to be shipped from Portland. Subaru takes 3-4 days.
