1993 Honda Accord

Question: shift lock

Question

Visitor, 2.2L 4 Cylinder, Petal, MS, March 24, 2011, 15:30

I replaced the radiator in my 93 accord. Does it matter how the 2 transmission oil cooler lines are hooked up? if they are backwards,would that allow the shift lock to not unlock? it just started this since i replaced the radiator.

    The oil cooler doesn't have a check valve in it or anything. The shift lock could be a failing brake light switch at the brake pedal or solenoid issue at the shift lever. When the shift lock is failing with the key on every time you put your foot on the brake do you hear a clicking sound at the center console?

    yes i do hear the clicking. But after sitting and idling for 20-30 minutes,it doesnt click anymore and i have to use the key to unlock it. Like i said,it just started since i replaced the radiator,i was wondering if i have something unhooked or hooked up wrong somewhere.
