108747, Why in the World?!
Posted by stillettoDSM, May-22-08 09:13 AM
Does anyone have a Clue as to why Half of my HVAC Lighting has gone off, why my Speedo is in Reverse, and sometimes my Auto Trans. won't Shift out of First? When I shut the car off and turn it back on, the Transmission Shifts fine and the Speedometer works correctly. It's driving me Insane.

Sounds like something electrical.

Maybe the speed sensor is getting confused?

As for the transmission, im pretty sure that the transmissions are not electronically controlled, so that may be a whole different issue...

lol!!! But no its probly your speed sensors. Scan for code in the tranny the cel wont come on if the tcm stores code. HVAC is probly a seperate issue. Or all could be a bad ground somewere, did u install something recently?

The HVAC Lighting was the only thing that happened because of my touch I believe. I was clicking on the Faceplate for my Sony Head Unit, so I'm thinking maybe I pushed something too hard?

the hvac lights are probably just a burned out bulb, it's only somewhere between 9-14 years old, you didn't really expect it to last forever did you?
