Default 94-97 Accord Automatic Problem/Questions - Shift Lock - Won't come out of park

Is there some type of selnoid or relay that is inside the car? (somewhere under the drivers side knee bolster/steering wheel area)

When it comes out of park I can hear a "click" somewhere inside the car when I push the brake pedal down to put the car in gear. When it doesn't come out of gear I don't hear that "click" when tring to get it out of park like I do when it is working normally. Any input appreciated as always.

So far I have replaced the entire shifting unit, TCU, and both selnoids on the front of the transmission because I was also having some problems with D4 registering, but D4 seems to be fine now?

Any input appreciated

Check if your brake lights are working. If they work intermittentlly, replace the brake switch.

I've seen many of those inter lock solenoids get gummed up from spilled coffee and colas, they will then work intermittantly. check the brake switch first though.
To get to the solenoid you'll need to remove the center console.

Is the solenoid connected to the shifting assembly?
