Won’t start+reading wrong gear
So I’m finally at the point where I going to fire up the engine and it won’t start-starter motor is doing nothing but I’m putting this down to the gear box display is not reading park.when I move the gear shifter it’s not reading the right gear-I’m about ready to burn it after all this

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
How did you sort the gearbox wiring incident out in the end?

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
Have you checked the wire coming from the F125 (bit the gear selector attaches near to with that annoying ball joint)? I think that heads up through the engine bay on a separate wire...

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
Could be brake pedal signal. Does the solenoid in the selector work when you press the brake pedal?

Don’t think I herd it clicking shopp-would it make a difference that I haven’t got the front brakes connected back up and bled yet?Shoppinit wrote:Could be brake pedal signal. Does the solenoid in the selector work when you press the brake pedal?

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
Shouldn't make a difference. It works from the brake pedal switch.

Somethings going on with it as I’ve just had a quick look and the foot symbol is not lit up on the shifterShoppinit wrote:Shouldn't make a difference. It works from the brake pedal switch.

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
Shouldn't stop the engine starting. Something weird going on.
/maybe a blown fuse from incorrect F125 wiring.

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
Update-so last night moved the shifter till it neutral on the dash And the footlight came on the shifter turned the key and it turned over!-pulled the coil pack fuse then turned it over to build oil pressure puts fuse back in and it fired right up!-think the linkage must be in the wrong gear compared to the shifter so I’m going to pull it off 2omoro and see what’s whatShoppinit wrote:Shouldn't stop the engine starting.

Re: Won’t start+reading wrong gear
There's usually an interlock on the linkage (via a cable) so that's probably where the fault lies; if the ECU doesn't think you're in neutral it won't start.
Could also be an F125 switch problem, but less likely.

Not necessarily if you take some wire cutters to it...
