How to remove shifter bezel ?
Dumped a bit of drink on shifter bezel area, now in limp mode.
Can anyone give me an idea how to remove cover/bezel, and shifter knob?
Is there a chance I could clean out or dry the shifter and have it resume working? Unhooked battery and installed new 7 year battery, no change. Located a used shifter for $25.00
I have had the car since new, no problems except it went into limp home mode about 7 years ago at about 40K mi., after driving about 10 miles toward home on the back roads with Emerg. flashers on, 30 mph, I think in low gear, it shifted up and I drove the remaining 10 miles home at normal speeds of 50 to 60 in 4th and 5th gears.
I took it to the dealer the next day, they found no codes, they checked battery and said it was good.
I told them to install a new battery anyway because the original battery was still in the car and and 7 years old.
They put in a new battery and I have had no problems till now, a few hours after a small spill on the shifter bezel and slide area.
Milage is now about 114,700, car is black/black and like new condtion other wise. No check engine light on.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Don
