Default Shift Lever Problem in 98 Automatic Accord

Afew times in the past I would depress shift lever button in but lever would not move. I just figured I did not press brake pedal enough. But lately it is happening way too often and I feel I am going to get stranded. What can cause this problem. I keep pumping the brake pedal and slam the button hard and it will eventually work, when the problem occurs. I am not sure if this is helping or not but the button finally goes in and I can finally shift into gear. Any ideas on what can be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Default RE: In cae anyone has this problem

Hey guys ..you let me down But i did research and found out it was probably the shift lock solenoid or brake light switch. Went to my honda mechanic today and it turned out to be the brake light switch. $120.00 Seemed a little high ($65.00) for 1/2 hour labor but it would of been more at the dealer. Turns out i was also riding around without brake lights for who know howlong and my cruise control is working better now also.

Sorry for slow reply, but pc was down. I did seacharound here but could not find any answers. I saw that quite a few people looked at my post but no one had the answer. I hope that my post regarding the problem or yours will help others
