matthew_w Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Hi guys - hope you can help me get my '96 V6 auto started. I've had a load of trouble with the auto box (and the auto box menders...) in the eighteen months I've had the car, but hoped it was all sorted out. But then the thing began to refuse to start with the selector in "P". though it would in "N". Then starting in "N" became troublesome, and now it won't start at all. Reading this forum, I would suspect the inhibitor switch in the shift lever. I've fiddled with the screw and got nowhere. I couldn't get the switch off without risking breaking something; any advice here would be appreciated. I'd like to short out the switch entirely - it's not fitted to LHD models apparently. But if that doesn't work, how can I start the car to get it to the professionals? People on this forum have said that the AA can short between the battery + and something. What? Is it the solenoid, and if so where is that? And how do I know which terminal? Quote
bigdaddy Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 The inhibitor switch is under the gear lever,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as to shorting out the teminals sorry i dont know Quote
matthew_w Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 The problem turned out to be the inhibitor switch - but the one actually in the gearbox not the extra one in the shift lever. The switch has been replaces ( Quote
