Gear selector/inhibitor switch WANTED

Post by Tobybongo » Mon Mar 26, 2018 7:04 pm

Hi everyone, I'm after the switch that stops the auto bongo from starting in gear. I'll attach some pictures below to help. As you can see one of the pins in the male connector has snapped and is corroded. Ideally need the plug that attaches also with about 20cm of wiring.

Thanks in advance

I have a spare box with a good one on? How desperate are you and how much are you willing to pay? I could remove it you.

Falling that are any other pins the same? I have a Bongo with no engine and box. I might be able to get you another pin and a length of wire?

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply. Quite honestly I don't know the extent of the damage as it's with my mechanic at the local garage. I'm assuming from the pictures you couldn't use wire and a pin because its built inside the plastic? ideally I'd like the whole unit and the female part of the plug with some wire left (fussy, I know!) just to make it easier and he said they're both fairly corroded.

Also there are different versions I believe so would have to be the same as the pictured one.

So I'm fairly desperate as i'd love to use the van because I've only had it 6 weeks..what money would you be looking for? I have no idea what it's worth.

Also where are you located? Thanks, Toby

Still searching for one of these. No-one on ebay is willing to separate from gearbox sadly.

I understood the auto gearbox was fitted to other vehicles? In which case maybe contact Alacrity to see if there are alternative/ other compatible sources?

I used this place in the past for a gearbox solenoid and found them very good , one of the techs there is familiar with bongos .
I can't remember his name but they will " automatically ". ( sorry 😀) send all bongo stuff his way , might be worth a call
Best of luck

It was the inhibitor in the gear box, it was stopping it from starting presumably vecause it thought it was in gear at all times. The connections were very badly water damaged and rusted #-o
