Inhibitor Switch Problem

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I am after and inhibtor switch for my 89 e30 coupe. As the reverse lights do not come on when in reverse and also you can start the car in any gear. I have been advised from the person I bought it from that it has passed WOF when like this. I have also been told that it costs about $300 installed.

Can anyone help with thie. EG: will I still get a warrent with this condition.

Thanks

The inhibitor switch/ reverse light switch is in the base of the shifter lever assy, inhibitor probably been bypassed due to failure -hense starting in any position. A 1/2 hr job to change shifter over, 3/4 max - certainly not $300.

The unit is non servicable & yes should fail a WOF in that condition - A: dangerous to start in gear & B: reverse lights if fitted must operate.

I can supply a shifter assy $35 with a guide of fitting if required
