SOURCE: tow/haul does not work on 2000 chevy truck. whereis fuse?

I had a problem with my tow/haul button not working. I came to find out that the gear shift had cut the wire running to the button in two. You may want to check that.

SOURCE: tow haul light on sierra 2002 wont come on

I'v heard that the tilt wheel causes the wire to break. Most likely the wire has been broken. Somewhat easy fix.

You are talking about the trailer option button on the end of the shift select lever ?
I would say a fuse, check there first, and there is also a relay.
As far as I can tell all this switch does is take the tranny out of overdrive, which you can do with shift lever manualy.
If you do not find the problem, you may have to replace the switch.

How to fix my 2001 Chevy Tahoe tow/haul keeps coming on when not pushed. If I leave it unattended will it cause my transmission problems cause I just had to replace it

Tow/haul mode enables the operator to achieve enhanced shift performance when towing or hauling a load. When tow/haul mode is selected, the tow/haul switch input signal to the body control module (BCM) is momentarily toggled to zero volts. This signals the powertrain control module (PCM) to extend the length of time between upshifts and increase transmission line pressure. Cycling the tow/haul switch again disables tow/haul mode and returns the transmission to a normal shift pattern.

Would't trust it , take an have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes checked by a qualified repair shop with a factory or professional scan tool . Auto part stores can not check BCM code's .
DTC B2722

Tow/Haul Switch/Indicator Always On or Inoperative

Step

No

Install a Scan Tool .
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Cycle the tow/haul switch while observing Tow/Haul Mode on the Scan Tool .
Does the Scan Tool display Active when the switch is first pressed, and then Inactive when the switch is pressed again?

My 2001 Chevy Suburban won't start at times. I remove the cables from the battery and put them back on at it will start sometimes. Other times it requires a jump. It's random. I also noticed...

your battery is being drained ,, check the plug in for the towing light hook up , something is shorted across ,, clean and tighten all connections to the battery ,, once the vehicle is running,, check the posts with a meter, you should get a reading of 13.5-14.5 volts, if not your alternator isn't doing its job

I have a 2004 GMC 2500hd, 6.0, 4 speed auto trany w/ overdrive, 4.10 gears. When Im driving at 55mph my rpm is at 2000 and when in towing with tow haul on at 55 mph my rpm is at 3000. My motor gets hot and...

When the transmission is in "tow" mode, the converter is unlocked. That causes the engine to run at a higher RPM but also since it's actually slipping internally (by design), it builds heat. If your radiator is the least bit internally obstructed or if you don't have a large enough transmission cooler (mounted externally), or, a combination of both items, everything will get hotter than it should be. Heat is especially bad for your transmission. The fluid chemically breaks down resulting in clutch slippage and burning.
If you do a lot of hauling, I'd get the largest trans cooler available making sure it's attached to the return side of the one inside the radiator and also change the fluid to a good grade of synthetic (resists heat damage far better than conventional fluid). Even if you think it's clean, I'd also flush out the radiator just to make sure.

Transmission tow/haul mode

Hi, the problem is when you are tilting the steering wheel all the way up it's putting to much tenstion on the wires that come outof your shifter that run to the tow/haul button. i am 99% sure your wires are disconected. rewire them and add some extra wire so next time there will be more slack in your wires.
