NHTSA Complaint #10409216 — 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

MY TRUCK HAS A TOW/HAUL FEATURE WHERE YOU PUSH A BUTTON TO TURN THE FEATURE ON AND OFF. I BOUGHT A TRAVEL TRAILER, I PUSHED THE BUTTON AND IT DIDN'T COME ON. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A ORANGE WIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT TEARS. EVERY PERSON THAT I SAW WITH THE PROBLEM HAD THAT ORANGE WIRE BROKEN, I OPENED UP MY STEERING COLUMN AND SURE ENOUGH THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A BRACE WHERE THE WIRE FITS IN. THE BRACE HAD CUT THE WIRE. I TRIED TO FIX IT BUT THE WIRE IS SO SMALL I COULDN'T. *TR
