I took my car to the Honda dealership to have my ignition lock replaced due to a recall, which I thought was the issue. The dealership, however, told me it was due to a faulty brake lamp indicator and charged me $42 for the part and $90 for an hour of labor.

How do fix a 98 Honda Accord that is stuck on Parking Gear?
My 1998 Honda Accord LX was getting stuck intermittently in Park. I found that the switch that turns on the brake light when you press the bake pedal was going out. This switch is $32.00 at any Honda dealer and most importantly YOU can change it yourself. Ironically, that same switch activates the gear shifter pin that lets you take it in and out of gear.

Were is shift lock on 1998 Honda Accord?
I have a 1998 Accord and I think if you cannot get the shifter out of park, it is a problem with the brake light switch. I need to look into that, but currently, I just stick a key into the shift lock and unlock it to shift out of park. I believe that turning on the headlights (with the tail lights) will also make sure that the brake lights work. Anyways, pry the plastic border around the shifter on the console off. It is on the console to the left of the transmission letters (P, N, D4, D3, 1, 2).
