shiftlock w/ brake not working
slowly but surely the brake shiftlock has finally quit working. now i always have to push the override button to put it out of park. since it was a slow process getting to this point, does that suggest what it might be (other than the switch/harness)? first it worked when i held the brake pedal, then it might take a couple of tries to move the shifter, then waiting a while and several tries.... then nothing.
any ideas out there? i have a new PNP switch/harness that is (1) expensive and (2) a b***h to put in. i would LOVE to return it if there is a possible cheaper alternative to try first!

The V70 is easier. Lift the e-bark up. Then slide the e-brake boot and trim to the drivers seat and remove. Then unplug the 2 white plugs.Then open the lid for the console. In the bottom is a little cover. Pop it out and remove the 2 screws.
Shift the car into neutral and start lifting the back of the console up and work it out.
The shift lock switch and solenoid are on the passengers side.

960 Will not shift out of park...
Yesterday my 960 started having this problem as I was bragging to one of my clients how wonderful my 960 was . Had to push the shift lock button to get moving.
Anywho, is this switch expensive at the dealer? Also, what is involved in bypassing the switch? Just jumping the wires or what?

I removed the center console and found that this has been a problem with this car before. The micro switch is still wired and someone released the ignition cable and put a wooden shim between the shift lock and bracket near the cable end. The shim/wedge had backed out so it quit working. I just wedged the shim back in place and I'm good to go.
