So my auto-stick hasn't worked for awhile now. I could never get anything to show up other than D but yesterday when I was driving yesterday I accidentally pulled the shifter to the ( - ) side and it went down to 3rd then to 1st with no in between. It didn't stay in gear though each time it went right back to D and wouldn't shift up. After turning the car off and back on now it doesn't do anything again. No check engine lights and when I had the car scanned (last week) nothing came up regarding transmission. I'm at a loss and was unable to find anything related online.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

Possible Conductor Plate repair in your future.

 

Also, if you have ever spilled your coffee/beverage into the shifter area, you could have a problem there. There are two circuit boards and a slider contact in there, that slider could be contaminated.

I'll take a look and see if that could be the issue. Other than it just not working and that one time yesterday randomly deciding it wanted to downshift I have had no other issues.

 

By George, you are a treasure trove of ideas! Those of us who dabble in the electronics side of things know that bad contacts/connections are 99% (+/-) of all electronics problems. This could be quite the new issue, never read about this one before.

I agree as I have seen that more than once
