Default cant put car into gear !!

idk whats wrong..i have an 98 4dr accord V6automatic and i cant get out of park. i can start the car, i pushed the down the brake pedal all the way down while it was running to put it into drive but it wouldnt move. i read the haynes manual and it said something about the locking solenoid. am i on the right track on solving this problem??

You certainly could be. When you press the brake pedal you should hear a click near the shift lever. If you don't it could mean the solenoid failed or the brake switch on the pedal, but I don't think you would have brake lights either.

I blew one of my fuse while trying to change the clock light and experienced the same issue... cant shift gear... So check your fuse box!
