Eric's shop is close to where we camp and he had a couple of cancellations so he had to time to check it out. Too bad I didn't think about the tow mode being off when he in the truck. It would have been fun to see what he could find out. But no matter, we had a good time.

It's looking like a software problem because all the modes of the cruise control work if you don't use the tow mode, or if you use the tow mode the cruise control "on" button has to be shut off before shutting off the ignition. I'm looking at the latest update for the truck now but it's all Greek to me.

Yeah, sounds that way to me. I've got a long way to go before I have programming capabilities. Need a laptop for starters, then the J-box. Hopefully my '07 Silverado can get by without any updates until then. Been driving around for a year with a "rejected" sticker, since the monitors won't run for whatever reason. Truck runs fine, so I'm not going to worry about it right now. She becomes exempt from emissions in 2022 - will be a great day for me! :)

I have a 02 silverado 1500 and at first it would intermittently engage and disengage. Now cruise control light dont come on nor does it engage.

Any info you can help me with would be greatly appreciated Sir and thanks in advance 🙏
@wyattoneable8 ай бұрын
You are correct, many things can affect the cruise control circuit. That's why I will start by saying "you have to get a wiring diagram". Once you have a wiring diagram you can determine where the power is coming from and where the circuit is grounded. Wiring diagrams can be confusing but start with the basics. It the fuse okay? Is there a relay in the circuit that can be checked? Since it started as an intermittent problem, I'd check for loose connections or a bad grounding point. Even the brake switch can affect the cruise control circuit. Are your brake lights and signal lights all working as they should? As an example of how I would go about checking things, is find the wire that provides power to the cruise control switch. If you have power to the switch and no power comes out of the switch when the switch is turned on, then you have a bad switch. But remember the switch has to be grounded at some point as well so make sure both power and grounds are intact.

That's quite the wild and crazy crowd you were hanging out with up there. I would have guessed it would have been something that GM put in the software specifically for the tow mode. Just like back in the day when overdrive transmissions came out. You weren't supposed to tow anything in overdrive, just the drive gear. So now short of a flash on a control module you're stuck with it working that way. Interesting...
@wyattoneable6 жыл бұрын
