Well Buddies, Recently I brought a second hand VOLVO 960. Check engine light appeared. Suddenly,the gear shift was locked. I tried for long to unlock it but without any success. The check light id not come off even. What can I do now? Thanks in advance.

The Volvo 960 I have is a 96 and I don't know how similar yours is. Do you have a shift over ride button on the shifter consol? If this does not release it then either the check engine light is deactivating the shifter solenoid, which sounds odd because you could not take it to get repaired or the solenoid quit and caused the engine light. You might have to take the shifter console apart.

I am guessing since I am still learning these cars myself.
