Re: Blinking Amber Arrow on Dash Problem 850 96

This could be the PNP switch for the transmssion (the fact that

it does this when cold susggests that is what it is). Many

of these have started to fail (our 95 has the same problem).

(This is not the sport/econ/winter mode switch -- PNP is mounted

on the transmission itself.)

A dealer can read the transmission's error code to determine

the problem.

Also, you can turn off the engine and restart and sometimes

that gets the tranny out of "limp-home" mode (that is when

it locks itslef in third gear after detecting a fault).

Search the archives for "PNP: to find additional info.
