Problem with shift the car into Reverse.
I have a Honda Civic 93 automatic.
I can't seem to shift out of parking when I first start the car and press on brake and try to shift into reverse. It looks like it was lock for some reason. The only way I could shift the car into reverse is to put a key in the shift lock place, to unlock the shift gear. Then my dad said the brake lights is not showing up. It maybe that one of the wire is short curcuit. I heard from somewhere that the problem was the shift lock solenoids. Anyone know where this is located?

Today while I was fixing my car with my dad, we saw a wire and tried to see where the wire came from. My dad then grounded the wire onto a piece of metal, and i think it jolted. Now when I turn on my car and try to shift gears from parking into reverse, it wont shift out of Park. I could shift the car into reverse only when I put the key in the shift lock place to unlock it. Plus the brake light is not working. But all the other lights work. Could anyone help me on this problem? I heard some ppl said that the problem was the shift lock solenoids. Does anyone know where that is at? I hope I could get this fix. Thanks to anyone who could provide suggestion on what to do.

If your dad grounded something out, I would check to see if a fuse was blown. I dont know which one to check exactly, but just check all the fuse boxes under the dash and under the hood. Also, can you give us more details on where that wire was located?
