Flashing Up Arrow Again/ Trouble Starting 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be dklew on  Wed Jan 2 05:09 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've been having trouble starting and now the flashing up arrow again, I just had the PNP switch replaced a couple of months ago. Even though the flashing arrow is on, the transmission didn't go to "limp" home mode this time. What's the dealio? I'm not having an problems shifting the gears (the microswitch was replaced a couple of years ago). Any help would be appreciated.

    Your flashing arrow may show up from time to time we all know the 850 PNP switch is a lemon one...

    mine just done that last month run on limp mode very slow .. but than I do the BAY13 trick... shitf the gear lever back and forth 50 time...

    than the problem when a way I do go down and buy a new PNP switch for $80 but never do install it yes and I will not do it into it fail


    most every one here we know the flashing arrow do come up during the cold but than most time the problem go awy

    I will just ignore it if I was you... car run good ?? than why bother.. the 850 know for many little bug...

    good luck...

    Have you checked the tranny fluid level? No personal BTDT, but, the previous owner of our 1994 850t wagon had a tranny fluid hose fail at the connection to the cooler (radiator) right before we bought the car and they indictaed that they noticed the up arrow flashing when this occured. It may be as simple as that...HTH and good luck.
