Bigjeeze Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 I shoukd check out the inhibitor switch - I am not sure exactly where it is but I am sure someone on here will tell you where. Quote
Gilesm Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 I shoukd check out the inhibitor switch - I am not sure exactly where it is but I am sure someone on here will tell you where. There is an interlock that prevents the engine from starting when NOT in park or neutral. This switch is also connected to the lock button on the gear shift. The engine won't start if you are holding the button in. My Auto sometimes won't start and I just press and release the button on the gear shift and hey presto! all is ok. Suppose I really ought to investigate the switch! You can take the cover off the gear-shift housing and find the switch in there. I once replaced the bulb that illuminates the selected gear that is also down there - it wasn't too hard to dismantle. I think I started by removing the gear-shift knob with an allen key, and went on from there. I think I removed the ash tray too - but it was quite a while ago.... Quote
