Locked brake pedal, cannot start. Help please :-)
UPDATE:
No good news yet, quite the opposite.
I tried to bleed the system very thoroughly, but it did not make a difference.
I loosen up the sensor to get more clearance to open up, did not get a start.
I decided to remove the sensor and go get a new one, came back and my antigravity battery was shut off, so charging it now. The weird part is, the battery shut off itself while I was actually charging it, that doesn’t seem right.
perhaps just because I used the jumper feature as I was not sure if the battery being in 12.8V at that moment was enough.
I used the jumper feature again just to see if the new sensor would light up the brake lights, nope, nothing happened.
I am running out of ideas, truly frustrating. WTF

Passenger side fuse box: #4 for Stop Light, I think I got it, I don’t have one on hand though, but hopefully
Thank you @Logic3016

UPDATE: All sorted 
I put the original brake light switch back together, replaced the fuse then re-connected the fully charged battery. Car started right up. So game, set, match :-))
Thank you all who chimed in and supported me with this ordeal.
