98 Honda Accord stuck in park! How do you diagnose the problem?

I recently was messing with the instrument cluster, changing the bulbs and all that. Two days later after work, i turned on the car all fine but couldnt get it in reverse! It was like i wasnt pressing on the brake, the shifter wouldnt budge!

I looked up online and i stuck a flathead in the shift release thing. I finally got it in reverse, i thought it was a one time thing since i had used my car a couole of times that day. However the next day it happened again! And its been happening more frequently!

I checked my brake lights to see if they were working and they are. I checked the 7.5 back up/intrument fuse, but it seemed ok, the other important fuse under the hood seems fine, but it is popped up higher than the other ones labled "40" idk if it is supoosed to do that? The one thing under the wheel above the pedals (brake pump pressure? I forgot what ts called) is the one thing i havent checked since i dont know how to check it.

The shifter works fine at times, but other times it gets stuck, and i have to stick a flathead in the shift release to get my car to move. Is there something im missing? Can someone help me fix this problem?! Thanks
