No, did not test the old switch. The new one came with a short cable - when we pulled the old one we detached it at the unit. So I will assume the supplied cable is good? How far back up the cable run do we go? Will pursue tomorrow in the light of day.

Car is no start. Diag tester shows P0705. Is there any way to by pass this safety check. Island cars do not have to pass any inspection.

People, Car is a V70 1998 with312K miles. Had been running fine (a summer Maine island car) since purchased in 2013. Died at home. We pulled and cleaned the PNP switch and got it started. Ran fine for a week and died again. We checked the alignment using the rear brake lights but no joy. So we order...

People, The passenger front electric window works but moves very slowly at times during its full travel. I suspect it needs lubrication, possibly in the tracks. I want to address this before I overload the motor. What type of lubrication should I use and how do I apply it? And is it possible to do w...

Hello, Now have the codes from a better tester. They are PO136, PO141 and PO705. Per some quick web searches, the first two are caused by a failed O2 sensor. The third one is a failed Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction, which seems to be what was referred to as PNP. I infer that the switc...

Folks, Re the questions asked. The car has 320K miles. The transmission fluid level is full. I have no idea when it was last changed. The car is driven about 1000 miles per summer season at speeds of 20/30 mph. It is not allowed off the island (no plates and can not pass inspection) so major repairs...

Hum, The check engine light is on as well and has been for some time. An O2 sensor has failed but island cars do not have to pass state inspection so who cares. Anyway the tester showed codes for the engine ECU but non for the transmission ECU. I will try and find an other tester and try playing the...

People, This AM, with no warning, a new light came on, an up arrow, and I lost power (the engine ran fine - the car would not climb a hill). The light now blinks. There is sufficient transmission fluid and a diagnostic tester shows no faults in the transmission ECU. The car has power if you shift it...

Sounds like a plan, but mine has a cassette tape, not a CD. Any ideas about how to proceed.

People,

Same problem - radio comes on in phone mode and will not revert. Any suggestions apreciated.
