Auto accord shifter moving without pressing button

[Myknikz]

Well I just bought this 99 accord 4 cylinder to fix up and sell but for some reason the shifter is able to move from park without pressing the button on the side and I am not sure what the issue really is I usually deal with stick cars I need some type of info

Is the botton stuck pressed in?
I would just take (carefully) it all apart it's not super complicated system.
Good luck!

No I don't believe it is stuck in there because it will only pull to reverse and not move untill I press the button...I'll just have to do like you said and take it apart..and see what's the issue..and the lights on the aren't working

Is the shift lock engaged?

 

[Myknikz]

Meaning the part where you'd stick the key to move it into neutral when the key isn't in the ignition??

 

[LeAccord]

Yes.. but now that i think about it i dont think the shift lock would really have anything to do with your situation ..
Take apart the centre console area and have a look around to see if theres anything not in the right place or missing/damaged.
The lights on the shifter? That could easily just be a blown bulb or the connection is loose..

I just replaced my auto shifter for this reason. It could move freely from one gear to another without pressing the button. There is a white plastic rod in the assembly and if that is cracked at all then the shifter won't work fully or sometimes at all. I got a complete auto shifter off ebay and the light works for $60. installed it and the problem was solved. You can't just but individual pieces of the shifter. I looked to no avail. Here is a link.
Hope this helps and if so leave rep. Dang found you a better priced one than I found. http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-02-Ho...Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc842f3d1&vxp=mtr
