Gear Not Engaging When Headlights Are On by shupsyBaba(m): 11:33am On May 02, 2017 |
Good day, I am currently experiencing a challenge with a Hyundai Tucson, 2006 model. Once the headlights of the car is on, the gear simply does not engage. To elaborate a bit... Say am driving home at night, and I have the headlights on. Now I stop briefly to pick up an item I just have to put the gear in Park (P) without turning off the engine. Now when am done, one would normally expect that I shld switch to D and drive off, but if I switch the gear to D, the indicator on the dash board remains on P yet the gear lever is on D. Same thing if I switch to any other position be it R, or N - nothing happens. The gear does not engage and the car does not move, but revs. If I switch off the headlights, the gear immediately engages - goes into D or R or whatever I put it in. So the problem occurs only when the headlights are on, when they are off, the gear works selects perfectly. BTW I have not visited any mechanic, nor have I done any repair works recently, it just started suddenly 2 days back. I would appreciate you expert opinions and input, because I really cant understand what the headlights have got to do with the transmission. Thanks |

I figured it out. One yeye bus driver hit me and broke d rear light. I didnt want to buy another one again, so I asked this plastic repair guy to help me "cut" another plastic in place of the broken brake light. We had 2 remove d whole lamp 2 fix it. On completion we fixed d harness upside down. Strangely it fit perfectly (wrong side). It was this evening I noticed that when I pressed the brake - trafficator came on, reverse = parking, etc - all mixed up sha. So just unscrewed and fixed it well and am now good to go... Thanks all but o witch craft here |
