I have a 2008 Dodge sprinter 2500 ext. 38,000 miles . I need a sprinter specialist to answer this. A year ago I

went to start it and starter did not engage, I was stuck in a parking lot and was not going to leave it there. When

I parked all was well with no warning lights at all. I am mechanicly inclined and do most of all my work on all my

vehicles but I am stumped. I started troubleshooting and found that if I remove the #5 ETC control unit fuse under

my driver seat it would start but be in first gear limp mode regardless of what position the shifter was in, even

in park.

I would then replace the fuse and place the shifter in drive and would get normal shifting pattern but no other

transmission modes ie park/revese/neutral.... All three lights stay on for ABS ESP and Traction control lights are

on all the time. Seems like it is stuck in low gear all the time except when in drive. Been using the van without

reverse the past year, Trainy works great in drive. Always have to use emergency brake when parked because it never

actually goes into park although the shifter does and the P shows.
