Pull the covers off the steering column where the multifunction switch is and look there. I remember doing a few of those on silverados and suburbans back in the day. Wire breaks where the switch goes into the column.97 GMC van cruise control has a broken wire
Son was looking for a tracer and came across a solderstick.
Seems cheap enough @$40,but does it work or is there something better?
I have tracers used for communications cables,which may work
The first one I ran into was when I was in my teens and I didn't know much, I used **** crimps and it worked but was a huge pain because I didn't take anything apart so no room to get crimper in there. Now that I'm older and a little smarter I would just replace the whole multi function switch. They aren't too expensive and not that hard to change from what I remember.I have no clue what hes done so far,just that hes looking at the very cheap tracing device.
Thanks I will pass this on.
Were you able to resolder?
I'm not familiar with what exactly the pulse wire is. Did he find the break or just saying he knows which wire the break is in? Does this pulse wire go to the multi function switch? I think that switch had 2 plugs with a few wires in each if I remember right.He reported back that its not switch,its the pulse wire
