hi guys
Ive recently bought another p38 as i missed my faultess 2.5 diesel.
however this time its a v8 1997 model and AUTOMATIC
let me begin, I knew it wouldnt go in low range but as Ihad this problem on my last I wasnt too fussed as I THOUGHT itd be an easy fix........ so far its not!!!
I went straght to the ecu and opened it up (didnt need to as it stunk when i was near it) either way I opened it up and it was clearly fried its an AMR 6353 and replaced for the same kind, it arrived and I plugged it in, now the sport button lights up and dash states its in sport, also the cruise control now works but trying to put it in low it just sits there beeping.
So I tried the next best thing THE MOTOR yep that was siezed so I replaced it.
STILL NOTHING it just beeps>............. If i put a fuse it number 11 its tells me its in neutral but put it in drive and yep it drives.
Ive put a 12v to the motor and it manually goes into low and I can manually put it in neuatral and high, I tried moving the motor in increments to see if the switches was slightly out...... STILL NOTHING!
Im at a total loss as to what it could be. also it could be a red herring but the battery light flashes randomly whilst the ignition is on 12v at battery but it goes off when engine is running and the voltage at battery is 14v
any advice would be appreciated and a solution would gain you a theoretical christmas card and easter egg lol thanks in advance guys
