A question for anybody
I have a question for everyone, I have a 92 Integra, when I start driving in the morning and I get somewhere and park the car, the park light won't come on. On the instrument panel where it says, P, D, R, N, etc, well the P won't light up, and if I put in reverse the R won't light up either. I have to sit there for a minute and then finally it will light up and the car will recognize what's going on. Does anyone have any suggetions how to fix this, I hope I explained it ok.
Won't light up, and I'm guessing you can't take the key out until it does?
If that's the case, it's the neutral safety switch, they go out in 90-93 automatics all the time... it happened to mine. For some reason, they are most likely to fail in cold weather.

Yeah that's it exactly, I'm glad you know what it is. Should I get the neutral safety switch fixed, I assume so. Any idea on how much that cost? Thanks again.

h:A quick call to your local Acura dealer's parts department will answer your question.

Yes, it will only get worse and worse until it you end up having to park it with the key still in. By the time I had mine replaced, it took about ten minutes of jiggling the shifter to get the key out.
I don't remember. I had it done at the dealer, since I was only 16 at the time and my parents wouldn't let me try to fix it myself (odd, considering I screwed around with that car a lot, but that car was 100% dealer maintained throughout it's ten years in my family.) My father paid for as it as part of a christmas present.

Thanks for the helpful info, I really appreciate it. I'll call a dealer to see what they charge.
