You need to adjust the 'effective length' of the cable. Don't attempt to make the indicator light work by changing the way the switch works (it's on the side of the tranny anyhow).
If my scanner was working, I'd send you the pages from a cR-V manual. Any tech that's worked on hondas will know how to do that adjustment. It's inside the plastic cover that's held on with one screw, beside the steering wheel tilt lever.
There's a link to a Honda manual you can find if you search this NG. Somebody will share it.

Hello
I have recently observed a weird behavior my car does and is happening only in Cold when the temperature is below 20F or so... Problem occurs only when (I have to run short errands) My 1990 Honda Civic car is not fully warm enough. In this condition, when the car is not fully warm / or engine has not been running for v.long time when put the CAR in Park mode, my Key from the ignition does not come out. Earlier I thought this was stuck due to freeze and there for I purchased several liquid sprays that would help de -freeze the key, so that it comes off easily from ignition. But apparently I was wrong here because Key still never came off, with Car in Park mode. Closer observation showed me that actually When car was brought in Park mode the Par Light on the display never turned ON. After waiting inside the parked Car for roughly 25min or so when Car was fully warm enough I saw Park light turn ON and immediately Car keys from ignition released and came off.
Does any one know what actually is happening and what possible symptoms my car is exhibiting
Thanks Foz_m
