Transmission Temporarily Would Not Go In Gear

[Leroy Eckert]

Thanks Pete. I am fairly confident I had my head buried and rushed the start. I usually wait for the buzzers to quiet down before starting. I wanted to get things accomplished today. Haste makes waste. I won't do that again.

I've never had your particular problem, but I have had some warning lights stick on, etc. Shutting down, count to ten, turn the key on, wait a full 30 -40 seconds, (when one of the buzzers usually stops), then starting seems to avoid spurious errors...

The second time I tried it I watched the do not shift light sequence do its thing. I did not the first time. The next time I move it I will see if I can force it to happen. But I don't know if that is a good idea. The jack level warning was ok. Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion --- OnFri, 5/8/09, Ralph L.

Also the HWH jacks computer board may have hung on you and not reported the green travel light. So when you switched the engine off, it allowed every thing to re set. Pure guess work, of course, but possible.
