Who on the board has experience with the F125 Neutral Safety Switch? The S6 I just bought shows symptoms of a failed switch in that it doesn't go in to drive, and then as you depress the pedal it will pop in to gear as the multitronic PRNDS lights up solid on the days. It can be accelerated to highway speed and doesn't slip at all.
In hoping it is in fact the switch, I thought I would try the spare 10pin switch I have laying around from a previous tranny swap on the one RS here. I have no method of testing it, so thought I would simply try unplugging the one in the car, plug this one in, and after blocking the wheels, start it up and "run through the gears" by turning the switch like the shifter cable would.
Enter the problem. I couldn't get the car to turn over? It's the same switch from what I can tell by looking at resellers listing switches for this car. The S6/RS6/A8/Phaeton are all purportedly the same 10pin switch. I thought perhaps it was because the switch wasn't mounted to the tranny and that a ground wasn't in play. I then grounded it and still nothing.
Anyone have insight on what I'm overlooking? I honestly don't know if the switch is bad, but logic suggests it isn't as I had drove the car I swapped the tranny on into the garage where the work was performed.
