  1. You were right about the Transmission control unit being the culprit,, they figured it out when they saw the letter on the console behind the sterringwheel became back lit as apposed to the letter (P or N or R or D or M1 etc.) bieng that orange color - the shop insists it is not the battery Now they said a "relay" or electric box was broken and not letting the key out of the ignition - hopefully picking the car up tomorrow, driving an old mercedes loaner for now
  2. QUOTE (mudman2 @ Jun 10 2006, 08:07 PM) Unlock the car and enter, close the door. Insert key but do not turn. Wait 30 seconds. Remove key, lock car unlock and test. I find this works for a number of situations including but not limited to 1 - Bose amp not producing sound 2 - Nav boot issues, like not being able to read the CD (03/04/05) 3 - Apparent lost comfort settings My 2004 Cayenne started to get stuck in park and your procedure above worked! Here is the goofy part - I owned the car over 5 years and did not want to take it to the dealer and it started to get stuck in park. The shop I like in Laguna did not know how to fix it so they replaced the stop light switch 1st, then it got stuck again, they replaced the selenoid 2nd, it got stuck again, they replaced the whole hand / gear shift 3rd, it got stuck again, a guy with his own porsche 911 in the shop just happened to be there that day and said a button next to the ignition switch allowed the car to get out of park and it worked for 4 weeks until today. I tried to push that button, turn the ignition at the same time and turn the steering wheel to get it out of park and it did not work. Your procedure above made it work and I want to thank you a bunch http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9657 Now the car is stick in park again, any idea if replacing the battery would fix this?
