Grinding noise from rotary gear selector
I currently have the dreaded intermittent rotary selector not rising issue on my car, but in addition to this when I unlocked the car the other morning, there was a grinding noise coming from the selector as I opened the door. It's worth noting that this was the rear door - I hadn't even got in the front yet, let alone attempt to start the car.
This seems odd to me, as I'm aware that depressing the brake pedal opens the brake switch, which then activates the solenoid to allow the selector to rise. Why on earth would it be making this noise before any of this?
In terms of faults I've got quite a few from when it first failed to rise. 2 or 3 are about LIN bus failure, 1 is regarding wake up control signal failure , and then one for mechanical failure - actuator is stuck.
