Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi folks! Having an occasional issue with my 1999 Tip - when I start the car, and press the button on the gear selector to get out of Park, sometimes the button only depresses halfway. It has been happening slightly more frequently recently, especially when it's cold. Whenever it happens, cycling the brake pedal/parking brake ends up fixing the issue eventually. No other issues shifting between gears once the car is on. I've read the similar threads on this forum, and folks mentioned it could be a brake light solenoid issue ( https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l#post17543713 ) Before I order the replacement parts, I was wondering if anyone else has any troubleshooting suggestions to confirm this is the problem? From the linked thread, Judder's experiences with the button sometimes not depressing fully seems to match mine. His diagnosis that one set of pins in the solenoid " was sticking on compression and sometimes engaged and sometimes didn't" might also help explain this issue occurring more in the cold. Anything else you would recommend checking on the car before ordering this part? Thanks in advance!
