Hi All
1995 960 estate (Wagon) 3.0 auto
Yesterday, some really strange things happened when I drove my 960.
Firstly, I noticed that some of the electrics were not working: heater fan, fuel gauge, temp gauge, speedometer, tachometer. So, when I stopped at the lights, I turned the engine off and restarted it.
All the electrics mentioned above came back OK, BUT, the little lights on the Economy and Winter buttons (on the side of the gear selector) stick started flashings on and off. (as one flashed on the other flashed off and vice versa but really quickly.) At the same time the "Up Arrow" on the dashboard was flashing on and off quickly.

The gearbox still shifted fine although I did sense that at idle, with the brake pedal pushed on, it was not straining to pull away as much as normal...

When I got home, I turned the engine off and on again and the flashing lights on the gearbox controls and on the dashboard up arrow had stopped.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Peter
