HI Guys,
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
As above, I have a peugeot 3008 with a strange issue.
I got the dreaded "Gearbox Fault - Repair needed" the other day. My dad was a mechanic and i worked on my fair share of cars. I know what a failing gearbox/clutch feels like.
This car does not have a failing gearbox or clutch.
So maybe the actuator?? Sure if thats going/gone it wouldnt drive perfectly once i actually get the car to move from N to Drive.
Here's the strange bit - I started troubleshooting the issue and it seamed like the brake switch was not closing the circuit to tell the car that the break was pushed to either start it or or change gear.
Sometimes it would sometimes it wouldnt. Sound like something is sticking right? Like a solenoid, brake light switch.
I then removed the fuse F9 - Clutch and brake pedal switches fuse. Yes the error would come up but will go into gear no problem and drive fine.
Put the fuse, back problem back but then replaced the brake light switch. Works good now. I can still make it confused sometimes though so obviously not out of the woods yet.
Right now the car seems ok. Starting the car needs the brake pushed, However i can put the car into Drive / Reverse without having to press the brake.
Is this normal?? Anyone come across this??
Thanks in advance!
