98 V70 AWD, intermittent shift lock problems
Hello All,
Happy new year.
For some time now my V70 has intermittently not allowed shifting out of park. I have taken the console/shifter apart twice now, but nothing seems obvious. I searched these forums and found some good info, but the intermittent nature of my symptom has proven difficult to diagnose. The mechanical overide button always works (of course).
Microswitch tests ok consistantly, I don't think that's the issue
Solenoid tests ok (continuity)
Brake lights always come on, even when shift lock does not disengage, brake pedal switch appears ok
I have not tested the ignition switch, jiggling it to get the lock to disengage is unsuccessful.
Any suggestions from you 'volvo yodas' out there?
Thanks,
Todd

RE: 98 V70 AWD, intermittent shift lock problems
We just had a tech session on various problems and this came up. The real problem is the shifter **** itself. Run your finger along the bottom edge of the button on the shifter. if there are any breaks or gaps replace it. Part costs about $70.Vovlo pn:
