Uh Oh ! Has anyone seen this before ?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25110/img_0576.1.jpg"></center><p>I was leaving a stop light and my '02 S8 would not shift out of 2nd. I placed the shifter into S and all of the lights lit up as seen in the picture. The car seemed to drive normally on the way home and the lights returned to normal after I shut the car off. Any ideas ?

Yup, a search of AW confirmed it. I took the car back out a few more times and the same thing
What is odd is that some of the electronics are acting weird. Nav system would turn itself on at the menu screen, the lights would flash after being turned on and when I start the car I get the "OK" and the D12345 starts out in 1 than all lights become illuminated when I turn the headlights on. Strange. Looks like I will headed to the dealer later this week. Luck it's certified for another 13 months. Is it safe to drive ?

Re: Uh Oh ! Has anyone seen this before ?
I don't know if will help, but my 2001 A8L does it as well. However, it only happens when it is very cold out, ie. under 15 degrees F and only when I start the car in the morning. I put it into N and D then back to park. I shut off the car and restart and it is normal. I think mine is probably a bad connection somewhere. I have experienced no driveability issues. Good luck with yours.

My money is on the F125 switch/plug. It can corrode over time or get soaked with oil.
If you are going to keep the car, I would recommend servicing the tranny.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/autotranservicing.html">Changing the transmission fluid and filter is probably the MOST IMPORTANT service that you can perform on your D2</a></li></ul>
