ghostchaseruk Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi all, This is my first post, so apologies if it is the wrong place. I took my car to an in-car audio place. Whilst installing a new after market stereo, they went to test it and all of a sudden, the car won’t go into drive and won’t eject the key unless the battery is disconnected. it also won’t go all the way across into park, just like halfway where it would usually go. it goes into reverse just not drive. Never had any suggestion of any issue before they started working on the stereo. anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
