Hi Everyone,

I have a 1995 850 Turbo automatic that needs a new PNP switch. I've known this for awhile but have been doing the fix I saw on this forum where I move the shifter back and forth and it's been working great. Now it's getting harder to start so it's time to replace it. I'm wondering if I could have done damage to the engine or some other part while holding off on the PNP replacement because now when I start the car, there is a loud screaching sound coming from the center of the engine. Does anyone know what this could be? I called the mechanic today and he thought it might be the starter. I have had absolutely no problems starting the car except what the PNP switch has caused and as long as the shifter was in the right place, the car would start right up. If anyone out there has any idea what this screeching might be, would you please contact me? I like to have some idea what I'm talking about when I go to the mechanic so he won't get into something I don't need. I know there are lots of females out there who know alot about cars but I'm not one of them and can use all the help I can get. This forum has saved me tons of money in the past and I'm hoping it will this time too!!!! Thanks for any info/help. I APPRECIATE it!!!! Laurie
