    Car Wont Start

    Hello, does anyone know if a hard to depress brake pedal and Neutral Safety Switch have anything to do with each other. I cannot depress the brake pedal to start the car, which is a 2004 525i. I was told by a "knowledgeable" person that the NSS is bad and therefore won't allow the brake pedal to go down. I think that it is just the brake booster that went out. Could we both be wrong? Anyone else had this problem?

    NSS is all you need to press to start the car and is unrelated to brake pedal function. NSS is easily diagnosed for continuity with a digital multi meter.
