Honda Accord Stuck in park fix
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a quick tutorial on how to get your car out of park. This car is a Honda accord. There are few reasons for car to be stuck in park . Few explanations are that the shift lock is worn damage or broken. The connection to the break release which is next to break petal like a plunger switch (shift lock solenoid) is not working or damage. The stop fuse is broken. the break light fuse is broken. the break lights are out.

Good video for the most part. FYI tho, you don't have remove the cup holder or the console cover. All you need to remove is the black ring bezel around the shifter and that'll give you access to the shift lock button.
9 years later this video helped me out extremely!! Thank you!
I have to say THANK YOU for this video! It was a life-saver just now for my dad, thanks again!

Hello cranberry valley! I have an electrical question if you don’t mind, a real head scratcher for myself but you may know the fix
Got me out of the parking lot! You're awesome. Driving around with my house key jammed in the shift release right now.
The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much for posting - used this the other day.

I just did that and drove it rite away lol
I really appreciate your video. Gave me more ideas of what my issue could be. I have an 06 Acura TL, so it's easy to by pass, but I still didn't want to take to a mechanic. Thanks again man.
That thing under the dash that was very dark he was pointing at toward the end is somewhere along the arm that holds the brake pedal. Just followed it and at some point when you step on brake pedal you will see like a button that gets pushed. That is the sensor that actuates the brake lights and also allows for the shifter to shift. Good quick way to test that sensor is step on brake and have somebody see if your brake lights turn on. If they dont turn on when you push brake, something is wrong with that sensor.
Thank you for this, it solved our problem! We didn't have the time or money to wait for a mechanic, couldn't find the problem on our own. Your video took 10 minutes to find and fix it. Super job!
Thank you so much for this video. I was stranded for an hour...i tried this it worked, this really helped me☺❤
Thank you! This was so simple and saved me tons of hassle and time and money. I told my husband I did this, and he said he's never been more attracted to me. :-D
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My daughter was stuck in a parking lot because her horn went off from the alarm which blew the 20 amp fuse that you had shown in the front fuse box. that fix the problem now I feel like the genius you certainly are. Thanks again
Helpful video. Great job explaining what to do. Thanks!
THANK YOU!! I have been fighting with my car forever with this issue!
I'm getting off work on Christmas Eve expecting to leave right away and this happened. Stuck in a tmobile garage dead zone ... good thing Acura is part of the Honda family and for my sake had a reachable transmission release . Thank you g
It's 3am and I've just watched this video. I'm checking the fuse first thing tomorrow! thanks
This morning this video saved my life lol now on the way to work. I never thought that would happen to my car. Thankyou so much. You saved me some money
Man! Thank you for the very helpful tips! Worked perfect; now to buy a new shift knob Assembly......
Thank you. Mine stuck on me three times, but rocking the car and re-trying luckily got it out of park. I feared the transmission might be gone. I'll try this fix right now.
Thank you, u just saved my night. It was the break fuse. God bless you
Bro, you just fixed my 2005 Accord!! You the man! Subscribed!
Thanks for the video man. Saved me lots of trouble shooting!
thanks This was very helpful!
Just a heads up... if this keeps blowing the fuse in the rain, it's most likely a hole in the trunk, water gets in and shorts the fuse for this 7.5W back up light fuse (and shift lock release).
Thanks a ton for your video. This just happened to my wife's 2000 Honda Accord.
Dude, you don't need to take the cupholder and cover off. Just pop out the little piece to the left of the shifter and insert your screwdriver to push the override button. Thanks for your vid tho. I'll definitely check out my fuse.
Awesome explanation and use of camera thank you so much. 😊
Thank you for sharing your video, you helped my husband to fix this problem.😊
Thanks man this really help me out it worked thank you.
Thank you so much for this, I tried 2 days searching solution, in my car, not just was parking stuck, also horn stop to work, and just was that fuse calls "STOP" I never saw car´s stop light... well thank you so much for your help. Grettings from Mexico city. Good vibes.

This video just helped me! I didn't have a screwdriver but I used a dirty pen that I found when I removed the cupholder!

Bro thank u I revived a 2001 Honda Accord on 4 flats from the ground up and this was the last bit ok know how I needed thank u
You have no idea how much your video helped me man. You 're a champion. Thank you
Thanks A LOT!! saved my life😊😊😊😊
Thank bruh You helped me out in so many ways pimp
thx, the nut behind the pwr unit was loose & now will start & gear shift works! :)
Thanks for this video... you possibly helped us with another problem on top of this!
Great video bro.. got my thumps uo
Good DIY so I have the same problem all fuses are good when pressing brakes no third brake light comes on or brake lights either I'm guessing I have to change the part on top if the brake pedal?
Thanks for the video. Do you have to release the shift lock, or can you just replace the blown fuse straight away, and then it will release?
Great vid bro, but all I did was turn my ignition to the on position but not actually turning the car on. Then I gave my honda it a little tug forward with my left leg and pressed the shifter button down to neutral and it worked!!!!!😃😃
Thanks man, I'm going to give it a go.
Thank you so much! Would this same fuse cause the gauges to not work like the gas gauge speedometer Etc?
Now my car shifts when i hit the shift lock release.. But my fuses are good now what? But video was awesome. Got my car home. Ty!
Thanks for explaining this! I encountered this today and thought I’d be facing a big repair bill. I’m so glad to hear it’s just a fuse. You made my day!
Thanks so much!! This video really helped! I was able to fix the problem!
Good video thanks for helping.
Thanks for posting the video
Great vid brother by the way not sure if this applies to all accords but mine had a little slot were u can just lift it up and touch the shift loc release
This is a great video if you are a) in a pinch and need to get going and have a slender metal tool to depress the lever switch or b) have a bad backup fuse and didn't know that could cause the issue. Please know, however that it could also be the brake light switch, located just above your brake pedal and fully accessible with just a screwdriver. For just about 10 bucks at AutoZone and about 15 minutes time you can resolve this issue and never have to worry about it again. As I've posted on another video, the brake light switch replacement was 120 bucks at the Honda dealership. SAVE YOUR MONEY and DIY!!!

***** I just noticed the bit he mentioned about the BLS. Very easy replacement. This video was perfect as he went from the cheapest issue to the most expensive, though in my experience the BLS is likely the culprit most of the time.
thank you!!! i have a crv but hoping this it will be similar. at least i have a starting point
Thank you! Just got us out of a jam!
Legit bro. Thank you
Good job. Thank you.
What fuse do you check on a 2012 accord
whats the name of the tool you used to lift the cup holder?
thank you, gonna check that when car arrives
Thanks ! Great video
Ok, fuse was not blown, but the buy pass worked. I am in process of changing headlights and did this. What else can cause this not to release?
I appreciate this alot!
My 01 Acura CL won't shift into park or reverse. I already pushed down on the shift lock release and still won't shift up to those gears. All fuses are fine. Any suggestions?
Does this work on integras as well? because mines doesn't shift to reverse at all
your voice is amazing, you should play in a theater i am serious.
I have a 97 Honda accord, which fuse am I checking. I don't have a device to check them
lol watched this to get out of the work parking lot. thanks
Thank you!
What's the first fuse that you mentions?
My taillights are working but not when i brake. And shifter intermittently gets stuck, so would it be both fuse n peddle switch?
thanks a lot! will try ti fix
Life saver!
The 01 LX has a small oblong tab you can pop that out and stick a small screwdriver the hole to release the lock
Thank you man !
Hey friend, thanks for the video! Helping a women stay strong and independent 💪 thank you!!
Great job thank you
thanks alot friend!!
honestly he did save the daay thanks!!
many thanks too you man!!
I have a 1990 accord and the shifter is hard to get out of park. All other gears are fine. Solution?
can u have the car on and shift out of park?? or does the car have to be off
I have this problem, which was preceded by the car not starting. Could this still be a fuse issue? Also what tool was he using to test the fuses?
i have a 98 accord j30a and itll come outta park but i gotta press the button and jiggle it back and forth till it comes out of park is that the same problem ur showing in your video or did urs completely stay stuck in park?
OMG THANK YOU!!!
How do i fix this problem on my accord I don’t hear the click so i can shift its not my fuse what do i have to fix
My car doesn’t start n stuck on park ...can it be that fuse ?
I'm sure grandma can remember that when she gets stuck in the Mohave Desert somewhere on I10 between Phoenix and the Colorado River. I just wonder who designed that sucker.
