The trans indicator lights for Winter, Sport, Economy (down by the shifter) flash and the car's power is cut to 1/4th. Also the shift arrow on the dash blinks on and off quickly. It has happened twice in 1 month, both on cold days (20 degrees F) Dealer stated to turn car off and on a few times and symptom should go away for now - he stated its a wiring problem and costs $300 to fix, which if far too much $$$ for my 100,000 mile 960 Wagon. Thanks for helping me out. Roy --

I had to replace my PNP or PNK switch (something like that) to cure those same syptoms. I think it sense the gear shift position for the transmission. I thought there was a code stored for that also. It cost about 300 buck part and labor.
