Automatic in park.

tranzloop · 11-07-2018, 05:03 AM

Hiya, I have a 2012 Roadster. It's currently in 'Park'. Does anyone know if there is a way to get an auto box into Neutral without power?

The ECU is playing up and I can't even get it into Accessory mode (might as well be without battery). To make things worse each time the door opens on the roadster, the window drops about an inch to open past the hood weather sealing joint. Without ECU it won't go back up so I have a car stuck on my driveway, in park with the drivers side window open! I do have a rain cover over it but it'd be nice to get it into my garage.

BTW, I have tried disconnecting the battery. OBD Scanners won't connect (how I know it's an ECU fault).

Sorry, a RTFM moment.

There is a Shift Lock release button under the housing for the shift stick. A t least I can now roll it into my garage to take the ECU out!

You may need to check to see it's not your steering lock

ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues
