Symptom of Gear Position Switch? S90-V90 97

posted by  someone claiming to be Markt on  Wed Nov 22 04:01 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I've seen other posts here recently about the gear position switch. I'm having a problem, and I wonder if this is a symptom of the same problem.

My problem occurs irregularly when the engine is started, maybe once out of every 10 times. The key turns, the DRLs, and idiot lights come on, but when turned to start, nothing happens. It's the same behavior as if the car were not in Park when the starter is engaged. After a little time, and multiple attempts, eventually it will start properly.

With 4K left on the warranty, this will be the dealer's problem to fix, but I was curious whether this was the symptom of the gear position switch. It seems like the car is confused about whether it is in park.

Thanks,

Mark
