Dead battery due to break lights won't turn off...Honda Accord 97

My battery was dead due to the break lights not going off. We put battery fluid in because the owners manual said that was the problem. No luck, the lights are still on, which drains the battery. Please help

    Problem most likely lies in electrical brake light switch, near brake pedal. Remove brake light fuse till repairs are made, in order to eliminate draining the battery

My 97 accord has always ran with no problems. I recently replaced the battery and it started and drove fine for 3 months. After not driving it for 1 week, the car is dead, not even an inside light and...

If the battery is completely dead, you'll need to slow charge it for a few hours before trying to use a jumper battery. And you could have something shorted to ground in the car that drained the battery in the first place.
Try disconnecting the battery cables and using a battery charger to bring the battery back to life first.

97 honda accord want start

Check the timing belt settings. Bring it to top dead center and verify that that all the marks are where they are supposed to be. Had that same problem 5 years ago and it was that the belt had jumped 1 tooth due to stretching. Hope this helps.

How can I put car in neutral if battery is dead?

What you have is a safety switch, wich is why when the car is running you need to step on the brake to release the shifter from park. the switch is electric, and therefore isn't working because your battery is dead. Now, for the good news. Next to your shifter there should be a little plug, or a slot about the size of your door lock key hole. Insert your key into the slot, press down lightly, and then you can take the car out of park. That is called your "shift lock release"
Good luck!
