Flashing Lights on 850

Post by prienzo »

I recently replaced the bulbs in my instrument panel, which meant taking it all out. When I put it back in, I reconnected all of the wires and everything. However, when I turned on the car, I noticed that the lights that indicated sport/economy mode are flashing. They are not both flashing at the same time. When it is in sport, it flashes red, in economy, green. I know that it should be solid. Also, on the dash, the light indicating winter mode in use is flashing. Do I have to reset something? When I started the car up the time was 0:00 and the temperature was in Celsius, so I think it reset anyways? Please help me escape the blinking lights! Thanks. Also, the lights that tell you if you're in drive, reverse, etc. are out.

Search this site for PNP Switch. It sounds like you may have this issue, I have been researching this because my car has done the same thing several times.
