355 F1 Help

Yesterday, I took delivery of a 1999 F1 Spider. Prior to delivery the F1 pump was replaced with the 360 unit and adapter. Work was performed by a shop with a very good reputation. They road tested the car a number of times and had no trouble with it. When I got the car I drove it to get fuel and had no problems. I then drove approximately another ten plus miles without issue. I parked the car, ran and errand, came back, started the car, and it wouldn't go in to gear. The gearbox malfunction light flashes continuously and won't go off. I checked the fluid level, o.k. I removed the relay and checked its connections. It did not look like it got hot but I installed another anyway. This had no affect. I was also told there is a fuse(s) for the F1 system. From what I can tell they are the two that are behind the panel in the passenger footwell area. They are 20 and 40 amp units. They look good. Of additional note, the amber suspension malfunction light came on when I start the car up and it was idling. It was not doing this prior to the transmission problem. This light came on and stayed lit yesterday when this problem first occurred. However, as of this morning, the suspension light does not come on but the gearbox light still flashes. The shop that did the work is quite far away. The car is now located in Ohio. I'm going to check a few things. If I don't get anywhere I'm going to send it back to New England. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

The first thing I checked were doors, trunk, and hood. Everything is latched/closed. However, it certainly doesn't mean a door/latch switch couldn't be bad. I've not yet checked the brake lights.

Thanks!

 

No beeps. The light just flashes.

Tried your suggestion but no change.

Can anyone verify that the two fuses in the passenger footwell are for the F1 system? They both look fine. I'm just trying to determine if I've found the right fuses for inspection or that I should keep looking.

As to the pump running. I hear a very feint electrical pump noise when I turn the key to position two. I assumed its a fuel pump but it very may well be the F1 pump.

 

I can hear the pump running when I turn the key to position 2. It certainly doesn't seem to be a power supply issue. My feeling is that the solenoid is not opening up to put the car in to gear. Whether this is because there's something wrong with that unit or it's not being told to do that, I'm not sure. Any more ideas before I send it back up East?

 

Thanks for all the ideas, folks. Sending it back to New England.
