Re: Electrical and Engine problems... Please help... 850 1995

Nick,

The car "feeling different" is likely the "limp home mode" which causes the transmission to start in 3rd gear (same as winter mode). You didn't mention any other lamps like the "check engine" lamp which is odd if in "limp home". Check for codes, fuses, relays, and take care with your wiring or you can really mess up your electrics...I have a lot of respect for electrics in todays modern cars with ECMs etc, maybe I'm overeacting but the last thing you need is to replace one of the computers on board or fry a component...Good Luck...
