Tow Haul & OD Lockout Malfunction

[millerman04]

As of late i've noticed my tow-haul and OD lockout wont work. I've checked the orange wire the runs down from the shifter and into the column. It's not broken. Now i cant get the cover back over the column. Damn plastic crap!! Is there a fuse somewhere to check? Thanks!!

more than likely its in the button you need a new lever its the same thing mine did.its around $100 at the dealer.

I figured out how to get it to work. If i pull the shifter back and then hit the button it will work. Is it that hard to change the shifter?

Ya my tow/haul only works in park, in any other gear it won't. Haven't had time to pull it apart and figure it out.

Have fun taking the steering column cover off. Mines been off for a week. Cant get it back together.

I think some of the specs are posted in the Gm area already I will post how to swap the shift later today.

Hey Thanks!! :thumb:

Changing it is pretty easy. As I recall, it is only held in with one bolt, but it sounds to me like it is a broken wire.

haha this is funny, mine started doing the same thing last week. If it doesn't work I just pull it toward me an inch and hit the button. So far that is working. Must be a wire chaffed on something and grounding out.

mine did the same thing and i checked the wire had to look really good to the break in it.

 

[millerman04]

where was your break so I have an idea of where to look again?

 

[red1977]

On mine there were black rubbers that held the wire to the steering coulum and it was broke right next to that. I just soldered the two wires back together and put heat shrink around them and have not had any problems sens then.

Thanks. Now if the rain would quit, I could take another look
