Vauxhall corsa 2008 1.4sxi - Auto gearbox stuck in park - craigie_10
Hi there,,
My fiancé has a 2008 1.4sxi vauxhall corsa AUTOMATIC..and of late we have had a slight issue with it,,
A couple of weeks ago we got into our car and turned on and went to put Into gear but felt jammed anyway it adventually went In to gear,, and didn't happen for a while but the last week or so it happens everytime we turn it on and we have to rev it to 1500rpms for about 7-10secs then it goes straight into gear???
But then if I went from P down the D then back up to D then to P again it would get stuck once again and would have to do what we have just done to get it out again,,,

Any idea what this maybe??

Could be a problem with the shift lock solenoid circuit. Do the brake lights work ok?
