91 Accord can't shift out of park
I have a 91 Accord LX that can't shift out of park unless I use the
key to manually release the shift lock. The problem all started when I left my lights on one day and had to have the car jumped. When I went to start it, the dash lights started flickering on/off rapidly, and the shift lock was locking/unlocking quickly (it also sounded like something was shorting out near the pedals, and smelled like burned electronics afterwards for a couple days). The brake lights still work (all three), and cruise control is disengaged when I press the brake pedal. However, the accel/decel functions no longer work on the cruise control. Does anybody here have any idea what could be causing this? I would love to be able to fix this myself and save the labor costs of taking it to the dealer. Thanks in advance. |

Bad vocab. |

91 Accord can't shift out of park
Replace the battery, it is probably toast. When the battery looses its
filtering capacity there is a lot of electrical noise on the electrical system which causes all kinds of problems. Jumpering cars today is dangerous and can wipe out the electronics. When the battery is discharged you should connect a charger and charge the battery all the way before starting the car. > wrote in message ... >I have a 91 Accord LX that can't shift out of park unless I use the > key to manually release the shift lock. > > The problem all started when I left my lights on one day and had to > have the car jumped.
