Thread: Sport & Manual lamp problem

Under the battery cover, you will see where the battery earth wire has a large lug onto the body as it comes out from nder the cover and goes off down to the engine and chassis. this is the main body earth and will cause similar symptoms if loose or corroded. Also, try disconnecting battery neg for a ew minutes, reconnecting and locking/ unlocking vehicle with key fob.

I suspect however it may have more to do with the neutral safety/ trans shifter pos switch on the side of the trans, but try these few things first.

You mentioned that the LEDs either side of the 'D' are flashing, this may sound silly but make sure the gear shift is in 'P' when you try to start the engine.

As Justin said, hopefully not your inhibitor switch - but if it is... mine eventually failed to the point of having no gears indicated in the LCD.

If you are stuck trying to get the car mobile, select Neutral to start the vehicle. This worked for me until I could change the switch. Remember that in this case the box will probably be in 'limp mode' & you will likely only have 3rd gear - not much fun - but you will be able to move the car.
Good luck
