Shiftlock stuck

Post by peepo »

Hello, I'm having a small problem. I recently bought a 98 V70, and it seems that the shift lock button some how got stuck down while driving and is stuck. I tried driving in reverse, drive, and low seeing if it would come up, but no succes. It's too far down to pull up with pliers and now my keys wont come out. Any ideas, or will I just have to stop by the dealer tomorrow. Thanks!

After reading your post I tried depressing the shift lock button and also got my key locked in the switch. With a very small bladed screwdriver I was able to pry the button back up.

I tried a small screwdriver as well, and couldnt seem to get any where. I have some time tomorrow morning so I'll swing by my dealer or mechanic.
