Gear indicator blank no drive Autobox

Postby murwullambah on Fri Feb 19, 2016 9:09 pm

Hi hoping someone can help, automatic challenger, i have an intermittent problem where i will set off and suddenly have no drive and notice the gear position indicator D has gone blank, if i move to neutral and then back to drive it usually kicks back into drive and away we go. A bit disconcerting when it first happened as i didnt know what the heck was going on. It has happened half a dozen times or so recently and hoping it doesnt get worse, seems electrical because as soon as it goes to Drive indicator it jumps into gear and away we go, strange, any suggestions or help welcome.

Hi M8,

I had a very similar problem long time ago with my Cherokee. I will park the car and then It wont drive again and I had to jiggle the gearshifter a couple of times and it will drive normal again. It turned out to be a faulty inhibitor switch. Also check the oil level.

Cheers

Very likely to be the inhibitor switch.
