Moved to the XJ40 section. Thought that you would get a better response here.

You may be in limp home mode. On the driver's side of the transmission you will see an octopus looking thing with wires going up towards the shifter. Loosen the three bolts so that you can move the rotary switch, but do not remove the bolts. Put the ignition in the run position and without the motoring running. Move the rotary switch until the light goes out and re-tighten the bolts. Do not move the rotary switch very much. I would be surprised if you had to go a 1/4 of an inch in either direction.

This should put you back in normal mode. You will eventually need to to replace the switch. It's only a temporary fix--maybe weeks, maybe a year.

That's my guess and it's free to try.

If it turns out to the be the problem. If on Monday he says that didn't get it, I'll be standing here scratching my head like a monkey doing a math problem.
