tow haul problem

My truck started doing the same thing, going into tow/haul on it's own. some times, it would disconnect on it's own the next time I went through neutral. I opened the boot at the base of the shift lever and tugged lightly on the orange colored wire, wahla! the end of the wire came out in my hand! I will work on it more next week. But, if it is a momentary contact, and the wire was worn through due to flexing (-40 here in the winter), then I will be able to spice the harness and 'get 'er done, eh!

This is what I found in a truck at work. The wire going into the shifter is a thin gauge wire and relatively stiff so as you shift the truck in and out of park to drive the wire breaks falling onto the steering column causing it to possible make contact putting the truck into Tow / Haul if you aren't towing anything just snip the ends off after you touch the end together to take it out of tow / haul and tape them so they are separated. What I did is I pulled the wire down under the column folded one wire back on its self and put heat shrink on the wire sealing the ends inside. The switch on the shifter is a momentary switch so with the truck running you can touch the two ends of the wire together and get it to go into or out of tow / haul them seal the ends so they don't touch again problem solved.
