'03 won't start sometimes unless shift lock release engaged
I have an intermittent problem with an '03 MDX
It seems like the Shift Lock Release solenoid may be failing sometimes.
When it fails to start, I don't hear the click from the shift lock. Brake lights come on in all cases when the brake pedal is pressed.
Once I engage the Shift Lock Release and move from P -> N -> P, it will start up without problem. Brought it to my mechanic a few days ago and he couldn't reproduce the issue. Of course as soon as my wife took it the next day, it manifested itself again. I can't consistently reproduce the problem.
Is this as easy as replacing the Shift Lock Solenoid?
Could this be at all related to the ignition interlock recall? ( I cannot remove my key except when it is in park.)
