Honda city shift lock release? - 2003 Honda City

Push your key into the slot.

It could be that the brake switch is bad! If you would, look down at the shifter, there is a emergency shift lock release, take your key and insert it in there and push down should release your shifter! please use this method instead of leaving it in neutral! that is very dangerous

There should two brake switches located above the brake petal, one is designed to activate the rear brake lamp relay, the second would be the park/neutral safety switch which may be defective and failing to activate the shift handle release relay. You can test this by first turn the ignition key forward then jump the two wires behind the switch, you should then hear the transmission shift handle lock release. If this is heard, the switch has failed and requires replacement.

Most likely you have a problem with the shift interlock solenoid located under the shifter. It gets its signal from the brake switch every time its pressed. If your brake lights come on when brake pedal is pressed, then you can assume the brake switch is o.k.

Follow these steps:
1. Pull up the brake
2. There is a shift lock release switch available under your gear cover - remove it by using a screwdriver
3. Put the screwdriver in the shift-lock release switch and press on it
4. Now you can change the gear from park to neutral
5. You would need to buy a new cover

There is a shift lock release lever located just to the left of the gear shift. Pop off the plastic cover, and then use a flathead screwdriver or similar instrument to push down and release the lever. While you are holding that down, you will be able to override the lock and shift out of park. Then release the lever.

The door lock key is the one that's used for all the locks you mentioned. If your ignition key does not work on all the locks, maybe someone, somewhere along the life of your car changed the ignition cylinder and never gave you the original key for the car, which would have operated all the vehicle's locks. Also, any one of those keys can be used to unlock the shift lock since once a key is inserted fully all the way down in there, the shift lock is released.

If you press the Break pedal and the shift button does not engage, Your Solenoid did not activate to release it out of park. either the: solenoid is out - Bent levers - Solenoid harness disconnected - Break activation wire may be damaged. this piece is easy to replace as it sits on the right side (passanger side) of the shift lever. remove center console cover to access the soleniod which is held on by two 10mm nuts. and a C- clamp

my car is Honda City 2005, EPS light get on and steering get hard like truk, I have visited Honda Service Center where they set the software by using their computer. after 2 or 3 weeks it again occure and same parctice is done at service center. Is there any permenent solution for this EPS problem

ck if your brake lights are working, if not, ck the fuse. if fuse is good and brake lights work, could be problem with solenoid not unlocking the lever, there should be a bypass so you can get it into gear (small slot near shifer, put your key in there to release shifter)
