gear stuck in "P" + stuck key

[stanchua]

I noticed recently that when I shift back to "P", the gear shifts in but gear position light doesnt come up.

It will stuck there and I cant shift out from "P" until the light comes back on.

Also, the key will stuck at the the ignition position when you try to turn it completely to the off position. So, I can't get my key out too, until the light comes back on.

What's the catch here?

I would try adjusting the shift cable a little......

check to see if your nutral safety switch works, check the wires going into the auto shifter. check if it clicks inside the shifter.

X2 mine was fried as well. You need to let it fully warm up before it locks in place before you can move it back out again right? I had that problem for the longest time, ended up being some toasted wiring and NSS.

i keep stepping and releasing the break and it will lock in (with lights) faster...

there's a relay that clicks once the gear locks in, i can hear it and its somewhere close to the hood switch, will be doing it tonight

What your hearing is the lock solenoid. If you can hear it, its fine. Ii tried the SAME thing, and it wasnt it. Go to the JY and get a Neutral switch, i can almost garuntee thats it. Alll my problems went away after.

Sounds like the car thinks its in another gear.

Because only in park does the key come out and the solenoid activates

Its not in another gear, and its not the ground -.-
I had the EXACT same problem with my accord. The Neutral Saftey switch was fried, it wouldnt work untilt he car was nice and toasy warm, (it had to warm up until the indicator on the dash lit up, then i was able to remove my key) The tranny is shifting properly, and everything else is fine. The other thing you can do is play with the neutral swtich, unbolt it, and move it either back or forward, that can ajust it, giving it less slack when you go to shift it. I HIGHLY suggest just getting a new one and saving yourself hours of pain.

where is it located?

where is it located?

Driver side right under the shifter, white peice with 2 connectors, has 10 visible solder points on it.
