so i was driving earlier and parked the car for roughly 30 minuntes and when we were about to leave, i wasnt able to take my car out of park without a spare key to release the shift lock. but does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

[!SG]

did you put ur foot on the brake before trying to shift into D?

did you hear a clicking sound when you car is in P but when you press on the brake. if u didnt hear the clicking sound, it may mean that ur P shift lock is busted.

just use ur main key and unlock the shifter first, then put the shifter into N before u stick the key into the key cylinder to start ur car

Swap your tranny for a 5-speed.

should i bring it in to acura to have them fix it, or should i just bring it to any other mechanic?

I used to drive a 95 integra auto, can't you just put your master key to unlock the shifter?

[secret1]

i got the car home! i just need this fixed

[secret1]

could it be that the fuse is blown?

[secret1]

and i also noticed that the brake light isnt working and also the horn isnt working

[GordonTse]

check the ground strap on the motor->body. it happened to an DA integra i was working on..

[secret1]

but could the fuse be the issue?

^ listen to what he said and look for a broken grounding strap. If all these electricals went at once u have a non-fuse problem.

It was the fuse! Everything's good now!
