- Uh oh, this 2003 Honda Accord is immobilized because it refuses to shift out of park!
The diagnosis shows an unexpected culprit which would be quite expensive to repair.
However, with a bit of creativity we get the Accord back on the road :)

As long as the customer acknowledges (on video) that this modification is "defeating" the safety features engineered into her car by Honda, I think that's a brilliant solution.
Cool diagnosis and repair Ivan!
Great Fix Ivan,Hell Yeah i would not mind that workaround "russian hack repair" as a customer.
I enjoy watching you troubleshoot all the various options. Sometimes I think that is a more valuable lesson for all of us watching. Thank you.
I think you might want to check into the TP sensor. The TP Sensor voltage, KOEO (or idle), should be 0.49 Volts DC. The relative throttle position should be 0%. The relative throttle position is what is used, I believe, by the ECM for this shift interlock circuit. If it is above 0%, the shifter will not move out of park.
I believe there maybe a TSB or recall on this issue. If the "TP sensor" PID you were looking at is the relative TP sensor value, then it should be 0%, and not 9.80%. This is just a possibility and a guess, so please keep that in mind. I am pretty sure that it is the relative throttle position sensor value that is used, not the actual value, by the ECM for this shift interlock circuit, and it must be 0% or it will not shift out of park. Again, just a possibility and a guess. I don't have enough specific information in this case to be able to do much more than suggest a possibility and provide a guess.
Just wanted to add it would be helpful to ask if the TPS Sensor (Throttle Body) has been replaced recently. If so, then the ECM needs to be reset and a idle relearn done, which should put the relative TP sensor to 0%. The relative throttle position sensor value is a learned value.
Hmmm, no heart ❤️ for this comment. Wonder why...?
This was my first reaction. 9.8% for a minimum throttle setting sounds too high to meet the threshold for unlocking the solenoid.
@@schwartzenheimer1 Someone else gave that same answer & they got the heart
@@6996brandyl Great minds...thx for the reply.
What's the piece called that I could order to fix the problem of the car not coming out of the park position
I would prefer to rig up a relay to ground the solenoid when the brake pedal is pressed, so the car can't be put in gear unless the brake is pressed.
YEP!
Also a good solution!
I agree it would be a safer solution
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics It's also the safer and original method.
Yes. The positive side from the ignitionswitch an negative side over a relay from the brakeswitch. Simple and oldschool. No computer needed... ;)
Addendum: After thinking a little about...
I would add a second relay steared by the P/N contact to provide the ignition positive for the lock. So the lock will only energized when its necessary. This prevents it from overheat during long breaksessions while driving or just stop&go on traficjam ;)
this is a fix I would do on my OWN car as I'm not going to sue myself. Ivan, as pointed out in some of the other comments, you gotta be careful with stuff like this. I know YOU KNOW but you're such a great guy and very talented and conscientious - I'd hate to see you in a situation where some lawyer tears you to shreds on a liability claim. There HAS to be a way to wire in a relay off that brake pedal switch. Pull the ground signal off that and send it to the solenoid. You could DEFINITELY come up with something. That 'fix' is ok short term but I'd get that car back in your shop and do the 'relay workaround' . Your videos are awesome- I've learned so much- thank you for doing these.
60 Minutes aired a report titled "Out of Control" on November 23, 1986. Almost killed the Audi brand. That's where we got the shift interlock from. BTW: "Subsequent investigation revealed that 60 Minutes had not disclosed they had engineered the vehicle's behavior - fitting a canister of compressed air on the passenger-side floor, linked via a hose to a hole drilled into the transmission."
my customers would ask if its possible to crazy glue the wires if it would cost less than soldering them LOL!!! Great Job Ivan !!!!The car Whisperer!!!
Could it be the accelerator sensor was faulty and needed to read zero or near zero vs 9.8? You did not check for that in the video. Keep up the awesome work Ivan. Your practcal approach to diagnostics is great.
My thoughts also and does the ECM see the brake light switch ?
@@terryharvey4811 @8:40, the brake switch PID was working correctly. And according to the diagram, appears to be a simple single throw setup.
@@SerenoOunce Thanks, I missed that.
I had the same thought too as the pin on the bcm will not change even if the solonid side is grounded as it actavates a relay not feeds the solonid.
Also you read that throttle must not be pressed while looking up how the solonid functions.
Although some electronic tbs dont have a idle bypass and 10% would make sense possibly not raising a red flag.
Ivan that is great information you just passed along to me. Great fix and thanks for sharing all your videos and knowledge.you and wife stay safe and well Artie 😊
Perfect budget solution. BCM from eBay is 50$, it can be a good fix to. All together within diagnostic fee can fit in 250$ range. Off course if we have to fix such problem in our home country - Your fix is just a right approach. Love Your content. I see myself in the mids of 80s back in the USSR. Thank You.
More common on GM when the gets stuck, I typically install a momentary switch on the steering cowl going to the solenoid. For a stuck key I mount it next to the IGN SW, or the opposite side if it's for the shift interlock.
Great, easy ,smart fix. Love to see this over the parts cannon...
Go Ivan! GO! Have a great evening!
Doing good deeds to people! Good doing Ivan!
Put a couple of small mirrors on near the inside of the garage doors to check for rear lighting, saves a lot of trouble getting in and out jamming the brake pedal
Nice and easy fix. But just to maintain the safety aspect of its intended function you should have added the brake circuit into the equation. Probably with a relay would be the easiest. And using that same park/neural ground for the relay coil so it’s not clicking every time she presses the brake.
Works for me, Ivan. The brake pedal requirement is a bit over the top to me. "Nanny state" law. The key lock shift is a very good requirement however. Great job again.
Nice and to the point. Check the component, check wiring from end to end, condemn PCM, create solution based on customers needs. I’ve been using the m12 soldering iron for a while now because it’s easier to just pop a battery in but I still love my t100 soldering iron. That little guy is a beast.
No way would I modify a safety feature on a car. Since you offer automotive repair services, you are considered a professional, legally speaking. Even if the owner is aware and agrees with what you did, if they loan the car to someone else or sell the car, and some kind of accident happens.... Well, that opens you up to a whole lot of liability issues. I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but my son just graduated law school and we discuss a lot of cases in the news and law theory. I'm telling all mechanics out there, DON'T modify a safety system on a car.
Very impressive diagnosis and fix.
Lots of different opinions, Thanks for the video Ivan!
That's a sweet fix Ivan. Thanks!
Well done for finding a good cheap solution to your customers needs .
Great job. I think my customers would go with the same decision. Even a used computer would be more than most people wouild want to spend.
Out of curiosity how much would a used/new computer cost roughly?
The only thing I would have done differently is A) unplug the TPS to ensure 9.8% is for sure closed throttle, and B) make the solenoid depend on the brake switch instead of the park switch.
I wish we could clone you, bro.
Parts canon has another sad 😞.
Never saw a Honda PCM fail like that before..And it is interesting that a PCM controlled function didn't set a code! For a customer, I like your solution. For my own car, I would've seen what it would take to eliminate the sol. or mechanically disconnect it.
Good fix. I can't comprehend the thinking behind this kind of crap. The PCM fails to turn on one circuit. You can't drive your car. That'll be $2000. Bullshit. You the man Ivan.
Always impressed with your thinking outside the box...literally, lol!!!
Nice Hack and of course its a good fix instead of replacing the ICM, but I think maybe you should leave a little message by the ICM for the next guy, explaining what you did. Thats what I did when I did little electrical or software hacks on computers.
Excellent job Ivan.
Well, that seems like an acceptable fix considering that cars were around for many, many decades without all these "safety switches". I have been around a long, long time and as far as I know we ain't lost a man yet because of a lack of a switch to prevent shifting out of park without having the brake pedal pressed.
will definitely go for the Russian repair. it is also one of the reasons that I look at your videos, you always find a way around
If I were the customer that is exactly the way I would want done good choice you’re a good mechanic and keep the good work up
I had a similar problem but when i used the bypass lock the auto would change all over the place I tried this fix after trying many other things and it worked
Thanks Ivan you are a hero
Happy to help 😉
Great fix. I've learned Russian repair doesn't translate to hack job, it translates to spending several hundred dollars to fix this problem is ridiculous. Another great job.
Not to mention the countless complications that could arise from trying to find, install, and learn a new PCM.
You may be the only shop in the tri state area actually looking out for the customer first. Nice work
Great work. Would want to ensure break was depressed before allowing the shifter out of park.
I’d have done the same thing. Ok here’s that ThinkToolPros scan tool again. You’ve sold me. I’m getting one after I get back from vacation.
You will LOVE it! Very powerful tool! Snap-On Verus is nice but is getting a little outdated and takes forever to boot up haha and it cost 10x as much!
Ivan, love your diagnostic videos! On this one, the root cause is very probably related to the TPS. You seemed to get locked in on the brake application, but I strongly suspect that the issue is that the driver is interpreting that the throttle is being depressed and thus not energizing the solenoid to allow shift out of Park. Could be that the throttle got excessive carbon build up, was serviced/cleaned, or the TPS was replaced. I would have tried a Throttle Body relearn/reset -- I bet that would clear up the problem without bypassing this safety-related mechanism that avoids inadvertent shifts out of park. If you don't have the tool to reset the throttle body, you can try the following:
Great video and thanks for sharing 👍I have a friend with one of these vehicles and it is having a similar issue. A lot of the comments in this thread recommend the use of relays which makes sense as another solution. After some thought I have come up with a way to use the park switch wire and also the brake switch as triggers for the relays. You will need 2 x four pin relays for this to work. On relay no 1 have the brake wire feed wire going to pin 86. Wire pin 85 and 30 to earth. Pin 87 is now a negative output when the brake switch is activated. On relay no 2 use the negative output from relay no 1 to pin 86. Feed wire from park switch to pin 85, pin 30 a fused power feed and pin 87 output to the lock out solenoid.
Hmmm, several issues:
A similar tweak to a police car near here resulted in a couple pedestrians being mowed down.
Also the solenoid may draw more current than that output is capable of in the long run. You may have a pcm failure sooner or later.
I fixed mine back in the day at my sons school parked in the bus lane! Got the tire iron out and bent it away for good👍🏻
Sometimes you have to make the repairs on the go if it’s your own car. 👍
My girl is going nutts 🤣😁😂
ive been watching these all day ✊
The basics--you never checked powers and grounds on the PCM. Also, is that normal for the TP sensor to read 9.8% ; you would think it would be zero. If the PCM thought the gas pedal was slightly depressed it may inhibit the shift release.
Yep, my idea exactly. I think the TP is slightly high. How is the idle?
@@tengelgeer That would depend on if it were a 4 cylinder, throttle cable, or V6, TAC module.
Agree. ECU's rarely fail. Garbage in, garbage out. The ECU still believes the throttle is depressed; check with the TPS disconnected.
Tps is deff high for norun. Itd still idle ok due to iac compensations
The jumper repair looks like a good time for liquid tape insulation.
Clever. Also the correct repair as the lady obviously is not flush with cash give the state of the rear headliner.
Is 9.80% normal for the TPS at rest for this model of car?
Just typing aloud as I don't know the answer to that question. Maybe the PCM is not firing the shift interlock because it thinks 9.80% TPS is not the resting point(?) and as you point out TPS position is a criteria here. And following from that - is a TPS relearn possible?
Agreed, what is the threshold the PCM is using to determine off throttle?
Yes correct. I found a TSB for 03-04 Accords where the shifter is stuck in park after throttle body replacement. You have to do a throttle relearn for the PCM to allow the shift lock solenoid to open.
TSB SN040705 dated July 2004. I found on Alldata. Relative throttle position must read 0% stated in TSB with 0.49 volts on the TPS.
@@ecaparts Good sleuthing :)
Interesting the Shift Interlock PID on the scanner shows as Low though even though there's batt+ voltage on the pin at the PCM (which we then want the PCM to ground). But I've seen what seems like reverse logic states on interpreted data like that in my line of work (not cars) all too often. Maybe it reads High when it fires the solenoid (?).
Would need to see a known good!
I'm sure Ivan will drift by and point out the obvious flaw in our thought process though. All good, it's like playing puzzle games for me :)
@@chillybrit2334 You have to consider that this is an older vehicle (pre-CAN bus) so I try not overthink the PIDs too much. The criteria to activate the SLS hasn’t been met due to the high throttle % so maybe the PID just says ‘low’.
NPR is cheaper Got to love Russian repair. I'd tell customer this They know then your a honest guy.
If that isn't a personal vehicle looks like a liability issue was created. A good solution for safety, if it's not the TPS value causing the problem, would be to build a simple CMOS AND circuit with the brake switch input and P-N inputs. The output could be a simple transistor switch controlling the ground to the solenoid.
Great fix Ivan! I would certainly do that on my car or on a friend or family member's car, but I would personally be very hesitant to bypass any safety feature on a customer's car for liability as a lot of people are irresponsible and happy to sue. My concern would be a situation such as customer leaves kid in running car while going into gas station, kid puts car into gear and it runs into someone or something and causes serious injury or expensive damage, and customer sues mechanic for trying to help them and wins. Obviously not a terribly likely scenario, but I have heard of things like that happening and it's definitely something to keep in mind.
Is there a way you could have tested if the interlock would have worked with a lower TPS reading? What if the TPS sensor was out of calibration and needed to read lower for the interlock to work?
Very good work! But am, I don’t remember seeing you showing if that circuit control anything else, if not I would go one step further and pull the pcm, the customer is paying for the labor so doesn’t matter and check for any loose contacts, maybe you could repair the pcm. Just another step. All and all good job. God bless.
Awesome fix. Some best videos on CZcams.
Great solution the mod is confined to the area of concern, no added components to go bad and it is locked when the car is off. It would depend on if the person was a lawyer or not if I did it for a customer.
I love it!!...the lock still works!!👍👍😎
Throttle position sensor is the problem. Cleaning the throttle body might fix it and it probably needs it anyway.
Hook it up so you have to be honking the horn to shift out of park.
Wouldn't that be classic! LoL 😂😆
Did think of that "available" switch!
And the headlamps on high beam.
😂 classic
Other than saftey concern i woulda removed the solenoid on my own car. Maybe it might be too many amps for that circuit is a concern i woulda had but maube not. Maybe could’ve wired it to the brakes switch somehow also but hey it works and that’s all that matters. I had a Lincoln Zephyr with the same problem and it turned out to be the bezel around the button making the button stick just removed the bezel and it worked fine after that. Thank you for your knowledge and be safe and 😃
Very good man very thoroughly diagnosed! I saw you at a junk yard or a shop diagnosing
A very tough diagnosis but you figure it out .
Wiring diagram are confusing to me.
Ivan, Hate to be critical, but there is a place for Russian repair, and then a place for real repair. Those safety interlocks are there for a reason, to stop someone from getting run over accidently. If the owner accidently runs someone over, because of your repair, you will be liable. I understand you want to save the customer money, but sometimes that may not be best way to go. Just my two cents.
Yeah, I hope he reads these responses and re-do it using the brake pedal as the switch or replacing the PCM
Heads up Dude, This fix might be a serious liability issue!
The reason that the shift-brake interlock was created was because of sudden acceleration syndrome. In as much as I haven't seen a fuel injected car without one, they may be mandated by law. Occasionally computer controlled cars would surge when placed in gear and the car would leap forward. This was a notable defect in Audis and police cars back in the late 1980s and people were actually killed. Plus it made for some funny videos of cop cars lurching through McDonalds restaurants.
The more correct fix would be to bypass the computer and install a relay on the brake light circuit that would send a ground to the shifter solenoid. (I was kind of distracted and might be wrong, but if you need a positive feed to the shift solenoid.. you don't even need the relay.)
In any case if the car never surges or the driver is careful, your fix is fine... but if the car does surge forward without the driver's foot on the brake and the car runs over someone, you are the guy who disabled the system... on video... and you might be faced with an expensive liability issue.
So... maybe a written waiver might help, but personally I might show a customer how and where to make the solder joints you did, but I don't think I'd do it for them myself.
Ivan, I don't want to be a downer, and I've done my fair share of kluges on my own cars over many years, but when it comes to working on other people's cars I usually don't disable safety features. I realize that I'm a dinosaur when it comes to modern tech, and I learn a lot from your videos, but people haven't changed since my day, and just because you did them a favor, doesn't mean they won't blame you when there's someone squished under their car or they gave a new meaning to the term "drive through".
And yes I know that your customer will always remember to depress the break before putting the car in gear... but if I might tell a story... when I was 17 and I got my first $1.00 car, I decided not to fix the park/neutral start safety switch, because I would surely never start my own car in drive or reverse... Note it was a 425 4bbl with 365 HP. My dad rather adamantly counseled me in the error of my ways while I was extracting my car from he remains of what was apparently his favorite shrub. And he even kindly let me get out from under my dashboard once I had properly adjusted the stupid slide switch under the steering column.. And he eventually forgave me when the shrub grew back... do you know how long it takes a common stupid ornamental shrub to grow back? I do.
Again, thanks for the great vids.
Well said. Also I wish my first car cost a $1.00! HA,ha,ha!
I've got two cars in my garage right now that don't have and never had any sort of brake pedal interlock, both with fuel injection (mid 80s Jags) That Honda has essentially three locks from the factory; brake, throttle position, and if that isn't enough, a push button on the selector. You can't knock it into gear accidently without pushing the button, and you still have the park/neutral interlock for starting the car. How many damn interlocks do you need?
The brake pedal interlock is a nanny state requirement. As long as the customer acknowledges the deletion and preferably signs off on it, no harm done.
I probably would have checked the TPS and see if that idle reading was normal. Looks high to me. If that proved to be faulty, I'd try to correct that. If that can't be fixed, then offer the customer Ivan's solution. Ivan's solution saves the customer money as long as the customer's ok with the mod.
@@topgun52 I would advocate that everyone start out with a $1.00 car and a tool box. It helps to have a dad who was a mechanic. It makes for a great crash course in auto mechanics and if you are really determined and industrious and don't run out of money for parts, you might even wind up with a car to drive. I've been driving since 1976 and I've never paid more than $500.00 for a personal car. On the other hand my current $500.00 car needs over $600.00 in OEM front end parts... even if I do the work. So even cheap cars don't stay that way.
@@jonalowe Agreed.. and yes some of those mid 1980's Jags were included in those cars with sudden acceleration syndrome. Obviously sudden acceleration was rare in pretty much all cars which were susceptible to it. I've only been in one car that did it. In as much as it was a Ford Tempo, flooring itself was more curious than dangerous.
But yes as I said, I whole heartedly agree, we do live in a nanny state which assumes we are too stupid to survive without some safety system to protect us from ourselves.
Last month, my brake line blew out when I tried to stop for a pedestrian that just stepped in front of my car... With the benefit of a dual master cylinder, my car stopped within an inch of crushing the moron. Wanna bet that if my Crown Vic squished the fool, his survivors would be suing me now? And imagine if someone had installed a single master cylinder system into the car, how much that would wind up costing him if anyone discovered what he did?
To be honest, I'm fine with single master cylinder brakes, they work great, but oddly enough... I'm kind of happy my car had a duel system because, even if I hit the emergency brake it might not have been in time to keep that pedestrian from wedging himself under my car.
Most redundant safety systems seem pretty stupid, until they don't.
Ivan can fix anything.
Seems a perfect fix and most people would probably choose that repair.
That didn’t look like a Russian fix to me. The ones I worked with would have used the roll up pin from sardine can and crammed it into the pcm connector. 😜🤣🤣
Guess what the customer will go for is what makes me laugh so hard
Great repair. No parts is always a good outcome.
Could it be the tps be reading higher than "safe" limit or value and blocking out the parking lock/shift lock
Yeah, 10% does seem a bit high. It's an AND logic gate in the PCM. Perhaps it's looking for a lower value.
My thought too. Why is TPS 9.8% at rest instead of zero?
@@rustlebruxz0013 one would think a rest point would be 0-3%
I think I would have ran a ground to the brake pedal switch so the brake would still work
Did I notice steel toes lol
hoping that computer didnt have a resistor internally to limit amp flow, you'll find out shortly if the sollenoid cooks lol. id have done the relay to the brake lights as someone else mentioned. also in your setup i'd clipped the sollenoid ground wire to the pcm just to isolate that from the shift ind switch just in case
Great Fix! I would have them sign a liability waiver to protect yourself from a possible Lawsuit in case of some sort of accident. Basically you have bypassed a manufacturer safety device.
What a great instructor you are thanks for your time and VIDEOS never miss one Bill N LINY
Sounds good ..i would not care if the pcm is control or not .. Many years ago when i worked at a power generation company.. We could add values to the make functions work as we wanted . I never seen this ability on these systems . .
Ivan that is a safety deal. You might have a problem if the old gal gets in to a accident. Big time law suite.
first time viewer Good diag and outcome, did you check for codes after your fix? ( to ensure pcm is happy).
Hello ,This is for everybody who has a Honda or Acura.The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has to be good and /or in proper adjustment or the computer may or may not allow it to shift out of Park.
On my own car I probably would. On a paying customer's car probably not mostly because of potential legal and liability issues. I do think that was an awesome solution.
I was thinking if the brake pedal was ground side switched, you could jump to that. But your way works just as good.
l like those little soldering irons , I keep mine at 400 f
Nice fix, maybe could have installed a relay that controls the jumper wire, so it only jumps the ground signal when in park and the brake is pressed.
I'm really inclined to believe the PCM is not allowing the solenoid to release because of the throttle position reading. I've always seen throttle position readings of less than 5% at idle on all vehicles with cable-controlled throttle valves. I don't know what Honda's threshold is, but I don't think 9.8% is ideal.
Good point. I'll have to check on that.
How many conductors in the brake light switch? I've seen separate switches AND double throw switches...
When pressing the brake my cruise control wouldn't disengage, my friend said if the brake lights work is is not a switch problem. I checked under the dash and sure enough it was a double pole switch. One side for brakes and the other for the cruise and other things. It's a 2007 focus. I Russian fixed the cracked switch body and works fine.
Did you check if there are multiple actuators on the brake pedal switch? My cars have 2 or 3 switches built into the one brake pedal switch. I am very sure that PART of the brake pedal switch is bad. That is why the data pid did not change. Get your head under there and check it!!
I had this happen , it was my break light switch. On my maxima ordered a aftermarket replacement from rockauto. A month lather the break light switch bumper broke in pieces. So break light we’re always on. Even when the car was off.
Temp Solution was double stick tape and a penny untill I got the new break bumper installed.
Great hack solution
Don't break your brakes!
All hail the Great Ivan.
Hey Ivan from Down Under ;) NPR that's sure what I'd do on my car, not that I have to put my foot on the brake to put it in gear though..
The car in my profile pic has 1 of your favorite engines in it..
I like how you prefer the Craftsman clamp meter.
I wish I could find one like that.
Yeah I think they discontinued those? :(
I had this problem in my 05 Honda Accord.. however my brake lights worked. So it wasn’t the brake switch. I had to take the knob off the shifter and was able to push down on the actual shifter (minus the knob) and it worked fine. (Summary it was the knob button that wasn’t pushing down on the piece that puts it into gear)
Wire it so the power has to be on AND the brake pedal has to be pressed... but first, if it was convenient, I'd pull the computer, open it, and see if it's just a simple blown transistor. This is a skill I know you have too.
That what I'd do anyway to save money. As in my suburban, it's bypassed, as the bcm is bad. I did like you did. It shifts without break pedal, stays locked when key out. So not bad deal unless client wants new bcm, nice video!!!
Btw, I sent you email other day. Wanted to let ya know that 😀
Thanks Josh! I don't think I got your email...
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics i sent it to ivan@pinehollowdiagnostics.com
Another great diag.. wondering if the shift solenoid creates some voltage spikes when energised or deengergised and the jumpered connection point can tolerate that . It's probably OK and has spike suppression on all the pcm outputs.
You did the right thing Иван, that lady has to have just a tiny bit of common sense and she'll be golden.
I've got an Accord EU cl7 too and guess what, my automatic climate control is monitored by the ECU as well. Most reliable car ever though.
For YOUR safety, put a disclaimer about that jumper wire to the owner. I am not tech savvy, but something "sounds" funky with this fix.
YUGO, IVAN!
Great illustration,thanks. Hey guys wat must i do or wat link must I use to get wiring diagrams.
It’s an ‘03 Honda Accord. You can find a PCM for $80 on EBay. You could Pick and Pull one even cheaper. I’d insist on a replacement but I still think your way would be fine if it was my personal car.
Good job
Great video Ivan.Were did buy that little solding iron i would like to buy one.
Like #22
Thanks for the video!
Life is a learning curve!
HINDSIGHT is 20-15!
Always enjoy this channel. But sometimes, it remind me of a friend of mine... Ask him what time it was and he tell you how to build a watch..
If you work on a dodge charger, magnum, or chrysler 300 with this problem it could be a broken hook inside the console that breaks off and the cable that is supposed to be attached can't do it's job. That plastic part is commonly referred to as a "pink thingy". utube videos abound on the fix and parts are availble on ebay.
