auto box problem 2.9 12v

Hello and a happier new year to all. I was recently involved in an altercation with a Rover ie, tried to mate with it! .In the prang, a pipe was fractured which allowed the gearbox oil to escape but the repairs are now done and I'm back on the road. The car runs ok but the gear selecter lever doesn't engage in the "park" position properly so as soon as I open the door I get the audible beep. I hope nothing too expensive has "snapped"! Any suggestions? Thankyou.

Sounds as though your garage mechanics ( or the prang ) have slightly shifted or bent the gearbox selector rod. I'm fairly sure it has a threaded adjuster on it. Unfortunately you'll need a ramp or hoist to get at it.

Hello Mr F. My mechanic friend readjusted the rod underneath car and solved the problem. But tonight, the lever clicked into "park" ok, but the audible beep still went 'til I shut the door. Blast. Any more thoughts? Thanks. Trev.

Wasn't there a post about this recently and the cause was low level of fuel thus setting off a warning?.

As far as I know, the beep is a warning that the shift has not been put in "park" Trev.

I found that slightly unscrewing the switch sorts this out  ........ Oh hang on....
Seriously though, mine has always done this. I have even had the switch out of the door to see if there was a fault. The funny thing was, there is only ONE wire leading in, no positive or negative, just one in-descript wire. Anybody have a clue??

My Scorpio also beeps when you exit the car with either the sidelights or headlights on. So maybe it's a lighting circuit thing.
