95 850turbo wagon w/120,000 is having difficulty w/starting. It will start, but the check engine came on as well as a flashing arrow on the dash board that represents the winter drive low mode, additionally, the sport/economy switch were flashing as well. Any ideas what this problem may be and potential cost to fix it?

It's signalling a fault with the transmission. You should pull your codes.

Post back when you know what the code(s) are.

i had same problem with my 95 850 no turbo tonight,engine stalled-all dash lights came on-first time ever-have had car for 4 months-140k miles-then restarted after a minute r two. alternating flashing like you described. had just gotten car out of shop for fuel breather line repair and apparently the mechanic left secondary leads on battery terminal loose. tightened that up but lights stayed on. ran the codes=got 1-1-1 and did reset. everything cleared up, except check engine light stayed on. noticed brittle vacuum hose coming out of front of manifold, but not sure if it leaks (yet) still concerned abut the check engine light . hmmmmm. ideas?
