The symbol is telling you to lock the park brake on as it will be a safety requirement before it allows it to start.

SOURCE: when i put car in park it screaches loud as you know what, and brake symbol flashes on dash.

the starter is on the back top of the engine on the right or driver side Its coming out of the engine so it should be hard to find if you know what a starter looks like

Starts but wont shift into drive no headlights no heater blower no turn signals

You been under the dash? In the steering column maybe?

Most vehicles won't shift out of park unless the brake pedal is pressed. That activates the brake switch and unlocks the transmission shift lever. Funny, that's under the dash too! Look for a dislodged connector on the steering column, one on the brake switch and hopefully you will find one or more connector issues. The heater blower is the odd one.

My 2004 Silverado ABS, parking brake light come on. 4x4 will not engage, fan blower will not blow, and cruise control will not work for a few days. Then it all goes away only to come back again....have had...

If the parking brake light comes on, it would indicate to me that the switch on the parking brake peddle may need adjustment. This would also deactivate the 4x4, you would not want to drive around with the brake on. Not sure about the fan blower and cruise but all are in dash and the dash does have a common ground behind the lower left kick panel. A loose ground connection can cause much havoc.

That symbol ( ! ) is you're brake warning lamp. Check that you're parking brake isn't engaged(even a little bit) and check your brake fluid level
