Hi,

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. I have a 1.2 semi automatic punto, the clutch was replaced back and October and it has been running fine up until yesterday........:-(

Every time I press my brake it tell me that I have to go into neutral it takes about 10secs to register then I can continue driving, even if I push the brake to go from drive to reverse it does the same. I don't think its the gear box as when I'm driving it goes through all the gears without an issue it's just the when I brake.

Other drivers are getting annoyed with me when I have to put my hazards on at an island because I've pressed my brake.

Any help will be very much appreciated

Hi. Im pretty sure the car uses the electrical switch on the brake pedal to sense things..it may well be related to the switch..or its wiring.

Have you tried carrying on..does it actually STILL WORK with the message displayed?

Hi

Thanks for answering. As soon as it comes up with N sign and beeping I have no option but to stop and do it as it comes out of gear.

I have the switch replaced last night and no change although the error as now cleared on the diagnostic. Left the battery disconnect all night to see if completely resetting the ecu will change.

Mechanic is now trying to tell me it's the gear box or main ecu but also admitted when he was repairing it and had to move it he didn't know how to drive it and kept push the gear stick !!!

Don't know what to do if this doesn't work and don't want to get scammed out of money and still have no car
