Problem. Started when there where wires broken on the right side truck harness. Two wires (yellow & red) went to the truck lights which have never worked. One purple and black and the other two are black. I connected them all up. The truck lights worked. But then the solenoid to the truck did not. Push the truck button and nothing. Push the truck release on the dash and nothing, Only way was with the key. Even the remote would not open it. I disconnected the two yellow and red wires and the truck worked the way it should, remote and all truck release buttons worked. But no more truck light. Don’t care.
I went the next day to drive the car. However I could not get the car out of gear. The shifter will not work. And the steering wheel adjustment goes crazy moving up and down as well as the driver door mirror. I heard clicking coming from the body processor modular, when I went to open the glove box the click stopped and the steering wheel stand in one place. But I could not adjust the steering wheel not the mirror. Close the glove box and the things went crazy. So now using the emergency release to move the shifter into gear and driving with the glove box open.
Day Three. I pull the glove box and the body processor modular. Nothing visible and did not think there would be. So I re-installed it and disconnected the battery to reset the computers. No different. Came back a few hours later started the car and held the glove box button in the steering wheel moved once and the mirror stayed in place. Still cannot adjust either one and car still will not go into gear.
My next move was to buy a body processor modular and a drive door modular. Only problem is I need to know what the body processor modular controls. Would this modular keep the car from not shifting into gear? Or should I look at the brake switch. Yes I have brake lights they work fine. Or would it be the solenoid on the shifter?
