Inhibitor Switch

[Way2go]

There seems to be no coverage whatsoever of the Auto Inhibitor Switch of the BX in Haynes. So some questions of the enlightened here:

Is this located on top of the autobox below the front of the battery or is there a switch below the selector in the car?

Is this combined with a reversing light switch or separate?

If it's on the box, can it be changed without draining fluid first?

Does anyone have a part number, price and drawing? (Citronut?)


Mine is occasionally playing up but can be teased back into action at present by jiggling the selector pawl.

yes that is the reverse light/lockout switch combined, but i must admit that i have never removed one, i only know this as i converted my tgd from auto to manual, i seem to recall that the two green wires?? are the reverse lights but easy enough to check, you can bypass it a temp fix. im sure its a fairly shared part fitting many other cit/pug autos.

i had a look on service citroen but could not find it,

I've trawled a bit of the net myself looking for someone who's done it or knowledgeable on the subject but there does seem to be a lack of it with many giving bum advice. I had found references myself on HonestJohn, how about this one that turns into a bit of a bun-fight!

Hi Vince, yes I'm pretty sure it is where I posted above, located on top of the autobox below the front of the battery. Next stage is to to have a prod & clean up connections first (wishful thinking) but I also need to find a source of the switch too just in case.
