Default Car stuck in park, help ASAP

So tonight i was driving and honked my horn (airhorns) and then my horn stopped working for some reason. So i pulled into a parking to talk with my friends i honked at and they pulled off and as i sat there i tryed putting the car into drive and it wouldnt go. it's stuck in park. So I ended up having to unlock it manually with the key and then drive it home. I figure the horns my have blown a fuse or something when they stopped working that triggered some security thing. so i just got done taking the bumper off and putting my old origional horns on to try and fix the problem but that didnt work either. So i dont know what the problem is and why the cars stuck. Tranny fluid is fine too. Does anyone know how to fix this or where the fuse for the horn is located (i cant find it) It's a 98 Accord V6 coupe. Thanks

Well, you'll have to override the tranny. Take off the black plastic surrounding the tranny gate and you'll see a little hole...stick a key in there and you can get it out of park. There's a pic in the owner's manual.

you can't move out of park?, you need a new brake switch (10-15bucks) it goes behind your brake pedal. to verify.... turn your car on, and have someone use the brakes...see if your brake lights work.. if they don't, then it is the brake switch, and the car doesn't know you have the brake pressed, so it wont let you out of park... happened to me twice over the past 150k on my 99'... takes 5min to remove & replace

Default Fuses

There is also a fuse box on the passenger side of the cabin on the side of the dash, where youcan't see when the door is closed.
