Ah yes, apologies oh wise one! Yes, come to think of it all 3 of you were at it under my car. :y
-
Got a known good one here if your needing a replacement...but try cleaning first :) (although may be worth having a spare anyway??)
-
hey CHRIS, dont forget the nut to remove it goes anti clockwise ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I'll bear it in mind! :D
-
collected the car from the garage and its doing to same thing :-[
every thing is lighting up like a christmas tree the light P R N D 3 2 1 al light up at the same time. and then the light comes on. any thoughts
-
what did the garage say they done to it??
-
they told me that the selector switch had gone so i got a used one off ebay gave it to them and they fitted it. £100 just to tell me what wrong and fot a new one :'(
-
ive never had this problem myself [about the only one i havent had!] but perhaps the blue plug by the battery has got knocked or got damp in it, ive heard of this plug has caused problems with others so worth checking, 3 round plugs by the battery, one has a blue socket, check that just in case.
-
Why do I suspect they have not fitted it correctly.....
-
take some doing to get it wrong ;)
-
MARK ive heard about updating g/box ecu software, would it be possible on my old tractor??
-
Think you can only update minifacelift onwards...not sure if thats car related or gearbox related as you will no doubt have a newer gearbox than the car...
-
Does sound like gearbox selector switch...so either the ebay one is duff too, or the garage fitted it wrong...or misdiagnosed...
2 of these I would insist on my money back...dead easy to fit this yourself anyway...

Ah, the lights! I had that when we changed mine, but first before the one from fleabay was fitted, did anyone take it apart and clean? If not, thats your first move and use switch cleaner NOT WD40. After re-fitting it has to be 'aligned' for want of a better word. So put the gear stick in P and adjust the position of the switch until only P lights up. Then continue the process until you get only the correct light for the correct gear, sound complicated but its not. Its just a case of repositioning/aligning the selector contacts to the correct position.
Do a search on 'Autobox fault' but in particular see this one

cool does anyone have any idea how to clean the selector switch when i get it off ????????
-
2.6 and 3.2 a bit harder due to cats. Even harder when cats were red hot ;D
Obviously, by time Mr DTM did it, cats were cooled ::)

its a 2000 3.0 elite if that helps

when opened there will probably be a load of white crud and if like mine even some grit. Carefully wipe the excess then get a small dish spray the switch cleaner (Maplins) into it put the bits into and leave to soak for an hour or so. Then carefully wipe clean. In mine, one of the brass contacts had actually broken, hence a replacement. Be careful you don't stretch the rubber gasket when cleaning. Any excess switch cleaner will evaporate without residue unlike WD40.
