Hello everyone I’m new to the forum thank you for all of your help in advanced there are a lot of things going on all at once forgive me for the typos.
Problems
The trucks O/D light started flashing then the transmission started shifting hard then the wiper switch quit working and now won’t turn the wipers on but will activate the turn signals. The dome light and chimes(both the doors and ignition) don’t work. Everything started off being intermittent and now just happens all the time.
What I’ve done
I’ve changed the sensor in the rear diff which I’ve read is both the vss and the abs,the ABS light is not on and I pulled the kick panel on the passenger side unplugged and jumped the plug it gave me the 16 flashes I’ve read it’s supposed to when you preform this test. I’ve changed the relay for the wind shield wipers, when I did that the problem went away for a day and then returned. I’ve cleaned the pcm with contact cleaner and inspected for damage corrosion and loose wires. I pulled the drive seat and inspected the plug under it with the 10mm bolt.
Conclusion
I can’t seem to find any wiring diagrams for this year that pertain to the vss circuit with is what I believe the code is saying is malfunctioning any and all suggestion will be greatfully received and appreciated.
Respectfully
Kael
