Default 1999 silverado tow/haul not working - 03-23-2007 , 06:40 PM







Hey guys,

I boosted some guy and after that my horn and tow/haul didnt work. I
found the fuse for the horn and it was blown. So needless to say, that
part was easy to fix. My tow/haul didnt work either. Whats up with that?
Any ideas? I cant seem to find a fuse or anything.

Thanx for any help

I'm not sure what the problem is with your truck but I have jump started
tractors and heavy equipment with my 2000 Z71 GMC since it was new [probably
200-300 times] and I have never encountered one problem.

I agree there is no danger of jumping if done correctly (you do not
cross polarity)

The fuse blew twice in my 2000 Sierra for the horn. Both times after leaning
on the horn to avoid an accident. After reading your post I decided to check
my TOW/HAUL and it isn't working either. If someone has an idea on what
could cause this please reply ASAP.

Thanks,
G

OK, just went out and too a look at it. It appears that the wire is broken
near the shifter linkage on the column. Any tips on taking the shifter out?

Is there enough wire to splice or repair it?
