hiya,,, as above,,
3L auto,,, is the gear selector i direct to the box or is it by cable or electric?
asking because when moved while no key in ignition it makes the ignition lights come on
cheers
-
Gearstick is connected via a rod to the selector unit on the side of the box directly bolted on to it...
Moved with the car in what gear...neutral???
-
lights come on if in park or neutral ,,, ok if in 1,2,3,D or R
-
If lights aren't lighting up right, 99 times out of 100 it would be knackered selector switch on side of gearbox.

its the lights on the ignition that come on with key removed not the lights on the gear selector when it is put into the positions
-
Thought that was the signs of a knackered battery or alternator or something or was it just bad earthing???
-
its got a new battery,,, i`ve just washed the car and noticed the reversing lights are on so cant see it being the gear selector prob i thought it was,,,
gona take the shroud off today and disconnect the back of the barrel and see if that makes a difference
-
If gear selector is telling the car its in reverse rather than park then the reverse lights would be on
-
the gear selector was in reverse,, thats why the reversing lights were on,,, when i moved the selector into R the lights on dash went out,,, but it must of only been temporarily cos they came back on and sent power to the reversing lights,,, i know it all very confusing,,,
i took the ignition apart and cant see anything wrong there,,, i did take one of the + leads off the battery and it made the lights go out but then nothing would come on when turned key.. put everything back but now the ecu doesnt seem to recognise the chip in the key,, which happened a couple of time a few days ago ,, if it does start it cuts out right away,,,
WHAT TO DO NEXT?????????????????????????????????
anyone please??????????????
