2005 Acura RL Brake Light Switch Repair -EricTheCarGuy

Brake switch failures are a common problem on Hondas of this vintage. If your Honda won't come out of park then you might have a brake light switch problem. You might also have an ABS/TCS light on. It's an easy diagnosis as well as fix. You don't even need any tools other than a scan tool to pull codes if you have any. Just make sure you install and adjust it properly. Do that, and you'll be back on the road in no time.
