Seat Arona my seat arona automatic gets stuck in park ?

If the diagnostic scan shows a fault code for that , hard to dispute but not good for a car of that mileage / year . Is it possible to jiggle the gear selector whilst holding key in start position and see if it starts ?

Wow, that was a speedy reply , - much appreciated . No, it doesn't jiggle ; its locked solid when this happens . Thanks for replying!

There are a few fuses related to the automatic gearbox / lever you could check to see if ok and seated all right but a long shot Seat Arona (2018) – fuse box diagram Year of production: 2018 Fuses to the left of the instrument panel Fuse Ampere rating [A] Circuit protected 1 20 Tow Hook 2 20 Cigarette lighter /Power point 3 30 Sound amplifier 6 40 Central locking 8 30 Heating fan/Climatronic 10 20 Tow Hook 11 7,5 CNG Solenoid Valves 13 7,5 Lights switch, steering column LSS and SMLS, diagnostic port, rain/light sensor 14 10 Steering column LSS: wiper controls 15 7,5 Instrument panel 16 40 Right Lights Power Supply 17 30 Right Door Window Control 18 30 Windscreen wipers 19 25 Radio, Multimedia System 20 30 Heated Rear Window 21 30 SCR Control Unit 23 7,5 Rear View Camera 24 5 Connectivity Box, external audio source wiring (Double USB-Aux IN), telephone amplifier, MIB display 25 7,5 Steering Column Electronics (MFL) 26 7,5 Gateway 27 7,5 Active Suspension Control Unit 28 7,5 DWA Sensor 29 7,5 DWA Horn 31 7,5 9AA/9AB climate control unit 15 9AK Climatronic control unit 32 7,5 Steering Column LSS, without Kessy 33 30 Left Door Window Control 35 40 Left Lights Power Supply 36 20 Signal Horn 37 30 Heated seats control unit 38 30 BCM Power C63 39 10 BSD, PDC, MRR 40 7,5 Lights switch, diagnostic port, headlight range control, steering column LSS: Lights, halogen headlights, reverse light switch 41 7,5 Regulation of unfolded exterior mirrors 42 7,5 Clutch pedal, ignition relays, CNG relay coil, AC pressure sensor 43 15 DWP relay coil, rear window wiper motor, heated nozzles 44 7,5 Airbag 45 7,5 Leimo Plus left headlight 46 7,5 Leimo Plus right headlight 48 7,5 Steering Column Lock, Kessy Control Unit 49 7,5 SCR Relay Coil 53 7,5 Automatic gearbox lever, ZSS 58 7,5 Double Water Pump 59 10 Heated rear view mirrors 60 30 Tow Hook 61 30 Tow Hook Fuse arrangement in engine compartment Fuse Ampere rating [A] Circuit protected 1 10 MPI Engine Injection Module 15 TSI Engine Injection Module 30 Diesel Engine Injection Module 2 7,5 Fuel metering valve (TJ4/T6P/TJ7), Low temperature coolant pump (TJ4/T6P/TJ7); Oil Pressure Regulating Valve (TJ1), Coolant Valve AGR (TJ1), High and Low Water Bumps (TJ1), SCR relay coil 3 15 Lambda probes 4 15 Petrol engine pump relay (MPI), Gauge control unit (TSI and Diesel) 5 15 Pressure transducer, EPW Solenoid Valve, TOG Sensor, PWM Electric fan, Camshaft Control Valve, Active Carbon Tank Valve and Oil Pressure Regulating Valve (TSI) 6 30 Ignition coils (MPI and TSI) 7,5 Glow plug relay, Suction hose resistance (Diesel) 7 15 Vacuum pump (TSI) 8 10 Injectors and EKP Relay Coil (MPI and CNG), Fuel Metering Valve (Diesel) 9 7,5 Servo sensor 10 7,5 Vref Battery: Gateway, BDM and BCM 14 15 Engine Injection Module, Main Engine Relay, ESC 15 30 Automatic Gearbox DQ200 and AQ160 17 7,5 50 Diag 18 30 Starter Motor 20 60 ESC (Pump) 40 ABS (Pump) 21 25 ESC/ABS (Valves) 24 30 TH4 Electric fan without A/C for moderate climate countries 25 20 TH4 fan with A/C or T5I for moderate climate countries 40 PTC1 26 50 TJ1/TJ4/TJ7/T6P or TH4/T5I Electric fan for warm climate countries 27 30 TH4 fan with A/C or T5I for moderate climate countries 40 PTC2 28 40 PTC3

Might want to check the switch / plug / wiring at selector or use this if it gets worse and you get stuck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHGGCy3irQU

Well, thanks again for a very comprehensive reply . Mmm... too many fuses! Strange that this problem occurs sporadically .

This one would be the most likely if any ( oh if it would be so simple , lol ) 53 7,5 Automatic gearbox lever, ZSS
