Sounds like the linkage is jammed follow the cable to the transmission look to see if anything is stopping the linkage or if the linkage is damaged check your brake lite switch this controls the shift solenoid this may not be releasing to allow you to shift when pressing on the brake

SOURCE: My Accord's shifter is stuck in ''Park'' ; Cruise doesn't work now

Most likely are. Check to see if your brake switch performs both functions. Does it do the cruise and the brake/park lock.

SOURCE: my 1993 honda accord is stuck in park. i have to

First of all you should check all your fuses and relays because they contain circuits that are not "always" marked within. Your shifter is held in place by one of two systems. !. there is an electrical solenoid connected to the brakelight switch which releases the shifter "only" while you press the brake, for safety reasons of course. 2. the same action is controlled by a cable driven link to the steering column. Your's is most likley the first on so, check all your fuses and relays. Then you'll have to remove the center console and look around that area to find if the functionallity of that release system is at fault.Good luck my friend, Dana

99 malibu, key won't turn in ignition (it's new cylinder and casing that worked fine before I changed gear shift back to park and connected the battery)

Shake ya sterring wheel from side to side and try turning ya key. The lock could be stuck and needs to be freed up. This should do the trick.

2008 honda fit sport won't shift into park

I will share this kind of symptom with you because I have 2007 fit and its acting up the same way, it will not go into park and I shift back and forth between drives and revers then eventually it went into park. I also took the center console out and look at the shifter lever and disconnect the shift cable out of lever and it seems the shifter move freely therefore I don't think its interlock switch, I tried to call dealer but today its closed. I also have 2008 and its do the same thing I think they might have RECALL for this concern so please if you get any result let me know thankyou very much.

2004 impala gear is stuck

don't understand your problem? if the car is stuck in a certain gear,i.e.second and won't shift check for engine codes for pssiblr "limp in mode" operation. if the car won't come out of park, check the shift interlock solenoid operation.

Unable to take out of park position

Do the brake light work? No brake lights and it won't shift out of park. Check your fuses and check for loose wires. Check your brake light switch. If that has failed, you won't be able to get out of park. The other one if the shift lock solenoid which is in the shifter assembly. The brake shift interlock switch prevents the car being shifted from park unless the brake pedal is depressed. Try to apply power/ground to the proper wires & see if it will activate.. If it does, then the problem is between the brake light switch & that solenoid. Could be the wires or the switch.Make sure the shifter cable is still held down in place at the shifter assembly & under the hood. It is the interlock switch that you hear/feel clicking.It is for the prior generation but may still apply.

Good Luck and hopefully you soon will be on the road again...;-)

Honda Accord 1993 EX is stuck on Park. It doesn't budge if I start the car and it doesn't budge if i try to shift to N,P,D4,D3

Use your ignition key and stick it straight down into the slot marked shift lock, next to the shifter. That will allow you to shift it into neutral. Leave it there, remove the key from that slot and start the car. You will then be able to shift into drive, from neutral, and be on your way.
