Gear shift stuck

Hi grey honda,

If the brake lights are not working, then you have a faulty brake switch or blown fuse that is preventing the interlock from releasing the solenoid preventing shifting out of park.

With ignition switch ON, depress brake and listen for a relay clicking near the gearshift. If clicking noise is present, the solenoid lever could stuck and you need to remove the console to get at the solenoid.

You can use the ignition key to insert into the slot on the gear shift panel to release the lever.

My car is in immaculate condition I brought this car new and this car has ONLY BEEN BACK TO THE same dealership that I brought it from 8 years ago. The car has NEVER missed a service in 8 years. I have never had any issues with the car until now. The engine is still shiny you could almost eat of it. For the past year or so the car has intermittently refused to come out of park. When I press the brake pedal and shifter button the car will not move out of park. Initially I would use the "shift release" under the shifter to release the gear shifter and be on my way. After that the car would be fine for months. I am a very pro-active guy and I had pointed this out to the dealer. I have a good relationship with them (especially since I have spent alot of money there). As of yesterday the car now will not come out of park unless I use the "shift release". I used to hear a little click when I would step on the brake pedal which indicated that the shifter has been released but now I do not. I am a little upset as I tried to be pro-active and inform the dealership but since there has been a overturn of mechanics, management and staff the service has fallen below par. Suffice it to say I am not sure what the issue is and would like some guidance as to what the problem could be. Could you assist? P.S. I do not have any issues through any of the gears once I release it and believe it or not the car still drives like new.

There are two switches that fulfills the requirement to take it out of Park. First, is the switch on the brake pedal and secondly, the switch located in the shift console near the gear shifter. The brake pedal switch sends a signal to the neutral/park switch in the gear shifter console to release the gear shifter from PARK. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the help found out that it was the shifter cable that was not going back in park 100%. It was sitting at around 80% and between the Park and reverse gears. Apparently there is a document on how to correct. This.

Honda Accord 2000 SE. Morning, I tried to start the car but it won't. Upon investigating i found some broken parts under the steering wheel which turned out to be brake pedal stopper. I guess replacing that will solve the problem. Is it also possible that the battery is completely drained out?

Yes, if the stopper is messed up it can hold the lights on draining the battery out. Can you please upload a picture of what you are seeing?

Here is what i found underneath.

Yep. that will do it, that is the brake pedal stopper. Here are some new ones for you.

Please let me know how it goes.

Out of stock at auto shops near me. Amazon will deliver it quickest in 3 days! This is so stupid. The brake light must have drained my battery. Now every time I walk out of my car, I need to check the floor for broken pieces or my brake light or is there some other way to detect this?

It's a good idea to keep an eye on the car but this is a rare problem, but should be fixed rather easily.
