I've done some reading of my 940 schematics in the Haynes manual. There is a starter lockout switch-I assume connected to the shifter. If it was misadjusted or open I should get no start, but the switch should still move to the start position. There's also a shift lock relay and solenoid that should prevent the shifter from moving out of park when the brake pedal is not pressed. It says in the text that something prevents the starter from being engaged if the key has not been returned to the off position in Park. No clue exactly how that works, but my first check is going to be the shifter position switch. It apparently has two sections-one is the reverse light switch, the other is the park and neutral switch. Not clearly shown on the schematics. I have also heard there is a mechanical linkage (wire in a sheath maybe?) between the steering column and the shifter-this may be just a rumor. Does anybody know where the relays live on this car? I know the fuses are on the left end of the dashboard.
