Overdrive D3 Button/ Broke Tips to fix ?

Well I was being curious one day and wanted to see if the Drive selector/Shifter would be something easy to replace. So I twisted it off and in the process pulled the two wires out from the tip part of the selector. I was kinda expecting Honda to give me a little extra slack in the wires but that was not the case. Now i'm trying to avoid taking it in to the dealer for something that would seem like a quick fix. I have tried long neddle nose pliers but they are not deep enuff to plug those wires back in.

You sound like a programmer for Microsoft! There moto sounds the same as yours. If it ain't broke, fix it till it is!

Good Luck!

Get a little screwdriver and pry the end of the shifter off. Really!

Uh, why?

I'm reaching, but I'd suspect Honda didn't plan on the curiosity factor in engineering their vehicles...

Exactly why I limit my curiosity to questions like: "What's under the air cleaner cover?" and "I wonder what happens when I pull this little lever with a gas pump symbol on it?"

Disconnecting those wires is what I call "collateral damage".

Momma always said, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get".

I am always tempted to do these sort of things, but know I am going to f-it up, so I don't....
