98 Honda Accord stuck in park! How do you diagnose the problem?
I recently was messing with the instrument cluster, changing the bulbs and all that. Two days later after work, i turned on the car all fine but couldnt get it in reverse! It was like i wasn't pressing on the brake, the shifter wouldnt budge!
I looked up online and i stuck a flathead in the shift release thing. I finally got it in reverse, i thought it was a one time thing since i had used my car a couole of times that day. However the next day it happened again! And its been happening more frequently!
I checked my brake lights to see if they were working and they are. I checked the 7.5 back up/intrument fuse, but it seemed ok, the other important fuse under the hood seems fine, but it is popped up higher than the other ones labled "40" i don't know if it is supoosed to do that? The one thing under the wheel above the pedals (brake pump pressure? I forgot what ts called) is the one thing i haven't checked since i don't know how to check it.
The shifter works fine at times, but other times it gets stuck, and i have to stick a flathead in the shift release to get my car to move. Is there something i'm missing? Can someone help me fix this problem?!
If you're not hearing and feeling a solid click on the gear selector when you step on the brake pedal, then the shift interlock isn't working. It could be as simple as you knocking the switch out of position… But, the other responder has the details on checking it
- Who can help me diagnose my car? I have a Honda Civic 2006 and this morning when I turn my blinker it started blinking faster than usual and I'm just wondering what causes this and if it's a simple fix
- Why will my 2002 Honda Accord not shift into park? I can literally shift it into the park position, but it's not acting like it is in park. Even when I have it "shifted" to park, I can't start the car. I can only start it in Neutral. When it is in the park position, the park light doesn't come on, and I can easily shift it down to reverse or neutral without having to press and hold the button. What could be wrong?
- My 2011 Honda Accord Coupe has a whining noise while I'm accelerating. It will make that noise when driving or in park? Can anyone tell me what this could be and possibly a solution? One mechanic told me a cracked power steering tank, but when I went to get it fixed they said power steering was fine.
