Went to start the 7 today (92 K m60 v8)

Been sitting for about 4 weeks.

Turned the key and got a "TRANS PROGRAM" warning on the dash..

Car wont even turn over, but battery tests ok.

Have tried the selector in both P and N positions, no change.

No fluid leaks under the car from the gearbox..

Could it be the box ECU needing reset?

Thanks

Neil
