Q&A

It's me again, answer #2 anonymous. Forgot to tell you that I jiggled my gear shifter A LOT to get it into reverse while at the grocery store, and then drove straight to my mechanics shop. May or may not work for you. But, as I sat there in the car, I had my daughter at UT Austin look online at what could cause that problem. She is the one who said to see if the brake lights were stuck, can't remember now if it was on or off. The part was called a brake light switch or light switch, something like that. It all cost me under $50, part and cost of repair, and took about 30 minutes or so. I was scared as a single female that I'd get ripped off in repair costs. I had never heard of the problem before. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the response! I had this checked out and it's not the problem but hopefully I can find out the problem soon. I had to have it towed to a garage and the mechanic will call me with the diagnosis soon........hopefully an inexpensive diagnosis. Thanks again!
