Update on my 850 wagon saga...
Okay, so I have replaced the S1 solenoid in the transmission as some of you guys have read. Now the transmission is still not shifting into 1st or 2nd gears. I hooked up the scanner and reset the code, and it worked!!!......for about 5 minutes. The trans. shifted properly into 1st and 2nd gear, but when it got into 4rth, the CEL and the up arrow came back on. So, everything checks out okay in the transmission, both electrically and physically, now I'm thinking I might have a bad TCM...Does this TCM control shift points, and operate the solenoids S! and S2?

Another update...I decided to wait on the tcm. I cleaned the pnp switch instead...it's free to do. So, I got it cleaned up(man was it dirty!!), the contacts were all black, so I was definitely not getting good signals from the shifter. After I got it all put back in, I aligned the arm on the pnp with the raised casting mark on the outside of the housing and shifted the gear shifter in the cabin to neutral. Got it all hooked back up, and now the car won't start. The hazard lights flash continuously every time I connect the battery, so I think it threw another code in the computer. On the bright side of things, the back up lights work perfectly, it's just that the car won't start now. Do you guys think it's a code in the computer that is preventing the car from starting?
