Frozen Transmission Selector S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be TCF on  Mon Nov 11 09:09 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a recurring problem with my 1999 S80 T6. When the temperature drops below 10 degrees F. I can't get the transmission selector out of park. I suspect it's the solenoid connected to the brake switch that's sticking during cold temperaturs but am not sure. If I let the enging warm up for a few minutes (more than a few actually) it works. Took the car to the Volvo dealer but they told me they couldn't duplicate the problem - surprise, surprise.

I often have to drive to North and South Dakota and when leaving the care outside overnight during cold weather this lockup consistently occurs. For those of you who don't know North Dakota has four seasons (June, July, August and Winter).

Has anyone seen this problem before and what't the fix....

thanks
