Car won't crank, what is the reason? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Yuri on  Sat May 12 11:16 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This happened twice in two weeks. I would turn the starter on and it would not crank. The simptoms are exactlty as if I had my transmission in D or R. After touching the shifter, it would crank and start, as always. Is this about that infamous microswitch, PNP switch or something else. I am not really concerned about it, but I plan a few long trips and want to know what to do if this happenes somewhere 300 miles away from home.

I can not reproduce this problem by simply wiggling the shifter. It just happens when it wants too. Please advise.

Yuri

By your description it sounds like your PNP switch is the problem, The micro-switch only effects getting the shifter out of park.
