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!

Great Video! I'm a master auto electric Wiz Retired. Ive owned 3 shops. You did an absolute great teaching! Bless you and your skills! Made Me Proud!

Thank you so much! The video helped my boyfriend diagnose my problem. I was stuck at work with this issue. My boyfriend went on KZfaq, found your video and problem was fixed! You're awesome! Thanks again and keep posting.

Got me out of the parking lot! You're awesome. Driving around with my house key jammed in the shift release right now.

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.

I can't thank you enough for posting this! You just saved my day! I would have been stranded!!

I have to say THANK YOU for this video! It was a life-saver just now for my dad, thanks again!

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

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).

Great tutorial! Thank you for the step-by-step walkthrough of what could be causing the problem and what might be the fixes!

It's 3am and I've just watched this video. I'm checking the fuse first thing tomorrow! thanks

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

Thanks so much for this tutorial..it was dead on perfect for diagnosing my problem, and I was able to fix it ( the brake light switch) without going to a mechaninc

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

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!

Bro, you just fixed my 2005 Accord!! You the man! Subscribed!

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.

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

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.

I really appreciate your help with this video. I was just about to burn this car..

Thank you, u just saved my night. It was the break fuse. God bless you

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!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I was stranded for an hour...i tried this it worked, this really helped me☺❤

The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much for posting - used this the other day.

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.

You have no idea how much your video helped me man. You 're a champion. Thank you

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!! I have been fighting with my car forever with this issue!

Man! Thank you for the very helpful tips! Worked perfect; now to buy a new shift knob Assembly......

Helpful video. Great job explaining what to do. Thanks!

Awesome explanation and use of camera thank you so much. 😊

Thanks a ton for your video. This just happened to my wife's 2000 Honda Accord.

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!

This video helped me today November 15, 2019 at 4:00 PM whilst i was with my 4 year old son!

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 man this really help me out it worked thank you.

your voice is amazing, you should play in a theater i am serious.

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?

Thanks for the video man. Saved me lots of trouble shooting!

Thank you for sharing your video, you helped my husband to fix this problem.😊

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

thanks This was very helpful!

You saved me,Brother! You the Man!!!

The 01 LX has a small oblong tab you can pop that out and stick a small screwdriver the hole to release the lock

thx, the nut behind the pwr unit was loose & now will start & gear shift works! :)

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!

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

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.

Thanks so much!! This video really helped! I was able to fix the problem!

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 for this video... you possibly helped us with another problem on top of this!

THANKS Saved my ass.. Thought I was screwed. Had no cash. Turned out to be blown fuse under hood.

Awesome video. Very informative

lol watched this to get out of the work parking lot. thanks

thank you for this post my car had blown a fuse an now it works 😀 thank you

I've had occasional problems, 4-5 times a year ago and twice during this past week, with the horn spontaneously sounding with regular pulses, not continuously, but honk, pause, honk, pause, honk, etc. This happened with the car parked, and locked in my driveway, and in a parking lot. Once, this past week, it stopped when I was about to leave the house to press a button on my key fob to get it to stop. Then, a couple of days ago, the car was stuck in Park. I couldn't find the clips, get them to release, on the flat plastic ahead of the cup holder. I visually checked a couple of fuses,, but didn't have a tester. Ultimately, I had the car towed to the nearby Honda dealership. They replaced Fuse #47. The car's no longer stuck in Park, and I'll monitor the horn problem. I think it may be related, and, therefore, also solved.

thanks for your video life saver

Great video bro.. got my thumps uo

thnx dude...very helpful info

Great tutorial!!

thanks dude. I liked your video. very helpful.

Pop that small plastic trim off just like this guy did, then right next to the ''P'' - ''Park Position'', stick a narrow screw driver down through that hole. The Locking Switch has a lever on it's top. Just press down on it & it ''Unlocks'' ''Park''. Just had to have a 1998 towed & unlocked the shifter so the driver could pull it up onto his Jerr-Dan.....

Hey friend, thanks for the video! Helping a women stay strong and independent 💪 thank you!!

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?

Good job. Thank you.

Yes. Thank you very much. Great video!

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?

Great video bro love the detail

I have a 97 Honda accord, which fuse am I checking. I don't have a device to check them

Thank you! Just got us out of a jam!

Thank bruh You helped me out in so many ways pimp

Thanks A LOT!! saved my life😊😊😊😊

Omgah 🤯 I've been driving around for years with a golf tee to get my car out of park. This whole time it was just a fuse!!

Thank you

thank you!!! i have a crv but hoping this it will be similar. at least i have a starting point

What fuse do you check on a 2012 accord

thank you, gonna check that when car arrives

Funny that happens to my 2001 Honda Accord today! You do NOT have to open the assembly! There is a little hole that is covered with a piece of plastic. Press and hold the brake paddle to make sure the car does NOT move. Remove that piece of plastic (don't lose it!) and gently push the latch (down under the hole) down with a *blunt* screw driver or something, as shown in the vid. *I am not responsible for your action. These are my opinions with my car* .

Legit bro. Thank you

Good video thanks for helping.

I believe that there is an existing hole for sticking in the screwdriver without removing any parts.

Thank you so much! Would this same fuse cause the gauges to not work like the gas gauge speedometer Etc?

Thanks ! Great video

Does this work on integras as well? because mines doesn't shift to reverse at all

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

Thanks man, I'm going to give it a go.

Thank you!

Thanks for posting the video

My taillights are working but not when i brake. And shifter intermittently gets stuck, so would it be both fuse n peddle switch?

What's the first fuse that you mentions?

What year is your car will this work for 2004 Honda Accord?

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?

honestly he did save the daay thanks!!

can u have the car on and shift out of park?? or does the car have to be off

My car doesn’t start n stuck on park ...can it be that fuse ?

I was driving with my screw driver all the way lol

I have a 1990 accord and the shifter is hard to get out of park. All other gears are fine. Solution?

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?

Thank you for this. I have a question though, if it gets out of park after a while would that be the solenoid that's bad or could it still be a fuse?
