Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my AU Fairmont not starting until I wiggle the T bar in P and then it starts! Anybody know about this problem? Also I noticed my reverse lights do not come on all the time, again if I wiggle the T bar they come on! Help!! |

Yep - it's the inhibitor switch I would say. It's not telling the ECU what gear you are in properly. Replacement should be around the $100 or so mark fitted, or you can try disconnecting it and cleaning it out with WD40/RP7 etc.

 That will give you an idea what to look out for in regards to the Inhibitor Switch.
