Hi

 

I have a 1999 V reg Galaxy mk1 Zetec tdi auto and having issues with the car, it starts first time every time however the auto gear selector is stuck in either P or N it will not move into any drive gear(D 1 2 3) it will move freely when the engine is not running.

Has anyone else come across this before.

 

Thanks Mick071160

Try posting in the Mk1/Mk2 forum.

Check your brake lights work - if not either theres a failed switch or broken wiring. The brake light switch needs to work to unlock the gear selector (as you should have your foot on the brake pedal when doing so).

 

Been seen a few times on here.

Thanks yes I check them out yesterday and ordered a new brake light switch just waiting for

It to arrive.
