ignition switch question / VADIS issue
I have determined that the reason my ABS controller problem was a bit different than other posters' was that it was OK all along. I now blame a worn ignition switch. I recently got a VADIS program but am having some difficulty in locating a diagram of the switch. I assume (always dangerous) that the return spring is shot, but rather than attempt repair thought I'd just replce the switch. Even found some over at IPD but don't know if the spring is located in the portion of the switch that they sell or I need to visit my friendly dealer (Vlad the Volvo Parts Man always makes me nervous however, I think it's when he says "let me see how much that issss".).
Any body know about these parts? |

Bad Shifter and Bad Ignition?

Yes you have 2 issues. The mechanical part of the ignition switch is bad causing the key to keep spinning and not start the car.(Common issue)
Here is why the 2 are kind of related. There is a cable from the ignition switch to the shifter assembly. The way the shift lock setup is the shifter has to see the ignition moved to allow the shifter to come out of park. When you turn the ignition it pulls a part in the shifter assembly through the cable to allow you to pull it out of park with your foot on the brake. If the shifter knob button sticks and will not release it will not touch and move the part attached to the cable and move it to allow the key to come out. |
I think Tech has covered the "key" side pretty well - but you don't need to replace the whole shifter knob - just the button.
