goofy behavior of gearbox after evaporator change - wiring connector? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Mon Aug 1 07:48 CST 2005 [RELATED]

After removing/replacing the dashboard and climate unit (to put in a new evaporator) I get the following symptoms. It seems almost certain I forgot to reconnect something but so far I can't find it. Does anyone have an idea?

Automatic is very slow to shift up from first gear the first time the car is started and gets underway.

After a couple of stop-and-go (at traffic lights) the shifts become more or less normal.

This begins again each time I cut the ignition then restart.

Trans will enter Winter mode but switching between Econ and Sport does nothing.

Check-engine light is on with gearbox (position 1) codes as follows:

114 (mode selector open circuit or short circuit to supply)
124 (mode selector faulty or short circuit to ground)
232 (speedometer signal missing)

Speedometer, tachometer, gauges and all warning lights and accessories on the car work EXCEPT:

the up-arrow on the dash does NOT light up.
the ambient temperature readout says "LO" rather than an actual temperature
the Econ/Sport/Winter switch light is out
the gear position indicator light is out

thanks to all,

ksg
