pezzler Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 started my car today and left it to warm up. when the car was ready to go i pressed the brake to shift into reverse, when pressing the brake i could hear and feel a a singular click, like a relay clicking, coming from the shifter. this clicking only occurs when in "park", anyone got any ideas? the car didnt do this yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c8sup Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 same here mate but i think its normal. I think its just a release mechanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You can't pull the gearlever from P to any other gear unless you have your foot on the brake. The clicking you can hear is the mechanism that stops you doing that releasing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 i take it that switch that is controlled by the red button next to the shifter is also controlled by a relay that is connected to the brake pedal, and its the relay i can hear. never noticed it before, what a waste of time question to post! i swear this car has made me paranoid....

Swampy442 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yeah thats the solenoid that locks the shifter in park, pressing the brake unlocks it so to speak. If you press the brake pedal you'll hear it clicking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
