- Here's a video to show you guys how to fix your truck if its stuck in 3rd. you may also be having some issues with your gauges too. Before you go replace your PCM, TCM or any solenoids in your transmission, I suggest you try this first.
32hrs on line 40 hrs of trubble shooting , and you video saved my sanity 🤣 thanks man!!!!!!! The issue was spot on, no speed no tac, no shift light, mine had a bad contact where the wires go into switch , solid white wire 👍 Thanks
Thanks man today I took it to my mechanic and told him to replace the starter switch harness and trans speed sensor and it solved my problem. Thanks man.
I have a 98 suburban that the transmission would not shift back down to low automatically but I could manually. Also the tachometer and speedometer stopped working as well. And the shifting indicator was not working either. I change the wiring harness that he showed in this video and now everything is working. The part that was changed is called: ignition starter switch. This was a very helpful video. Finding and E4 deep socket can also be hard to find. If you can find an inverse torques driver would even be better.
GR8 VIDEO! I just bought a 99' Chevy Z71 and was told it needed a speed sensor, which came with the truck. I installed the sensor but, still having shift issues. Previous and current owners both have swore the problem is the A B shift solenoids located next to the trans filter so, I purchased them from 1A (gr8 source) at 2 4 $35. have yet to install but, after watching YOUR VIDEO I'm going to try that first. I'm also having odd instrument cluster activity and, this sounds like a sensible place to start b4 tearing down trans pan. THANKS MAN!
Ever fixed the problem??
did it fix it?
Just started having this exact same problem on my 97. Trouble shooting has been a nightmare. Thank you for this video
How did it turn out?
Thank You!! I had the same symptoms in my 95 Chevy truck. I would have never guessed that was the issue. You saved me from a huge headache my friend!

I read online somewhere if you have no tack or speedometer or gearshift indicator light. Put the key in the ignition and start your truck. Now why the truck is running hit the backside of the key driving it it into the ignition and see if it makes your tack and your shift indicator start working. I did it, hit the Key a couple of times and sure enough my tack in the gearshift indicator light worked along with my speedometer when I took it for a drive. This process tells you you better change your ignition switch wiring harness
Great video, thanks. I got similar issues with my 98.
Be blessed
just wanted to let you know I had this exact problem on my 1995 c1500: stuck in third, no speedo or tach and no gear indicator light. Followed your advice, got myself an e-4 socket and the part. About 40 minutes later, it's good as new. Thanks!
Thanks brother! Watched your video, and it took me like 20 minuets and bam ! Works like it’s brand new again ! 1995 ! Can’t thank you enough !
Thanks for your advice it did fix the issue on my truck you saved me a lot of money and time to get it done thanks 👍😷
Nice video, I had the same problem with my 99 suburban. I took a chance and ordered it through stylin trucks, it cost me $39 with shipping. Hooked it up and now my check gauges and service engine light went away. Hopped on the freeway and man the shifting was smooth, thanks allot for the video saved alot of money.
Your video was helpful, thanks. I had much the same issues - began with a "check engine" light after six or seven miles at highway speed. No codes and it would be off upon restarting. Devolved into an intermittent loss of tach, speedo, PRNDL accompanied by the transmission not shifting into fourth gear. The fix: I cleaned the ignition key module with CRC-QD followed by Deoxit - D5. Flooded the key cylinder with the CRC, inserted the key in and out and cycled the cylinder back and forth from on to aux. Repeated with the Deoxit (contains a dielectric lubricant). Problem(s) gone. The cluster lamps are all brighter.
Thanks Brother, not much content out there about this fix. Replaced the switch - all good now. Saved me lots of time and money..
Im working on some issues after a column swap and this may have saved me a ton of headaches.
thanks boss. just knocked this out . took me about an 1 hour to put the part in .
I’ve been struggling with turn signals not working here and there and wipers also and shifting issues , I’m going to get this part , wish me luck , great video , Thanks
you're a genius my man, I had 2 95's and they both had that problem, changed. out the part and problem solved, thanks
had this problem also think ac delco ign sw cost me $127 and the pain in the ass to drive home manually shifting then tear down replacement reassemble good video dude
Just got the ignition control module for my 95, down to 40 bucks now. Thank you for this video by the way. I've been trying to figure out what's been going on with my truck for weeks now.
What was the issue exactly
Thanks. Bro u really helped the squad I can say you change my life
Let me tell you I change my transmission my turbine moved wires and shit
Vincent thank you thank you. I have a 96 taho 4x4 it's my baby and had that problem. Thanks to you my baby is back and running right .
1995 Chevy truck. Well I put in a new ignition wiring harness switch from 1A Auto $37.95 free shipping and that solved all my problems my truck works like new
U saved me man! Was on side of road looking up what's causing this prob w/ my 96 Chevy Z71! Tach and Speedo both went to 0 rpm and 0 mph! Shifting very weird, taking off in like 2nd or 3rd gear it seemed, and torque converter not locking up (i.e. higher rpm's on highway than normal)... Saw your vid on cell phone, watched it, then smacked the ignition switch with hand, and tach and speedo came back to life. Trans now taking off from stop normally, but shifting very hard, think still in limp mode and now check engine light on. Need to clear codes and replace that ignition harness, still getting intermittent tach and speedo glitching. Online Part links and part numbers would help? Also, maybe post mortem on the removed part would be cool? Such as simple continuity test of each wire to see if can tell which wire's the culprit? I know you said u have no good voltmeter, oh well, maybe next time... Ordering part for my 96 Z71 from Advance Auto using 30% off coupon code and $5 speedperks making the $117 part only $79.09! However, my local store doesn't have part in stock currently. Truck is backup vehicle, so can wait for it... Part No: LS697 Wells Vehicle Electronics Ignition Starter Switch - "Exact Fit for your 1996 Chevrolet C1500" Thnx again for saving me on the side of the road man! Appreciate it!!
HAHAHA! That's my problem exactly. 10-20 hard smacks on the key brings her back to life.
Thanks I have been dealing with the same problem for weeks
97 GMC Sierra same thing change the ignition switch all working fine now.
Sounds like a Similar issue. The ignition control manages everything from gauges to relays that effect your starting sequence, anything starting related as far as issues go can be effected by the icm. Also shifting problems, most notably with one or two gears, and not all could be shifting solenoids in the transmission that are blown, they are not expensive, but require patience to fix, RUN YOUR ERROR CODES
ignition control module is in the distributor. its actually the ignition switch. great video,,,, thank you for the upload.
Thanks. My symptoms were , no speedo, no tach, odometer and trip odometer not working, driving like it was stuck in third and check engine light with codes P1860, P0785, P0758, P0753, P0740! Changing this ignition switch fixed it all. was oreilly's part, MasterPro Ignition Switch Part # 2IS136. All the other parts store had it but near me only oreilly's had it in stock.
Damnnn after 4 months of driving in 3rd gear i think you solved my problem🙏
Excellent! Cost effective. I did the solenoid already, no go. Now, I'm going to be doing what you are doing. Thanks.
Life saver dude, my 1997 suburban did same thing today, thank you
Thx so much for ur help found loose cable for gears in steering column 👌💯
very good video my truck is doing the same thing as yours stuck in third gear and rpm and speedometer not working all the time
Did u figure it out haveing same problem with my truck but I changed wires an still geting 1860 1864 codes
@@stephanieanbobbywatson3718 Did you replace the transmission speed sensor as well?
Thank you for this video! This is exactly what is happening with my 95 GMC Sierra K1500. I just ordered the part on eBay and should have the problem fixed next week. Thank you!
Ken McConnell did your part work mine didnt
@@brionbethea4164 what was ur fix I'm haveing same problem with my truck but I changed wires an still geting the codes 1860 an 1864 plz help
@@stephanieanbobbywatson3718 Did you also replace the transmission speed sensor?
Just had this problem with my ‘96 GMC Sierra. It’s the ignition switch. Follow the schematics.
Great video. Saved me a bunch of time and money
cool man. I have a broken hazard button and it might be causing shifting and tach and speed gauges not to work. thanks for the info.
TANKYOU CHOM LEE AT THE PAWN STARS👍
Lol. A good doppelganger
I have to shift my 01 manually from 1st and 3rd and my Speedo doesn’t work either so different gears, might try this, bc I was going to just put a different transmission in
Man this is a life saver
Vincent English very good video bro you a life saver that's exactly my problem but it does this when I move up n down my steering wheel! Sometimes it work and sometimes it don't! But kinda figure how to deal with it until my part comes in
I'm so going to try this on my 97 Silverado..
I'll be .. I replaced this part Thankyou Sir 😊..
I also have a 1997 Silverado. My 4 mm 6 point socket removed the etorx under the steering column, but my 4 mm socket is bigger than the smaller etorx bolts that hold the ignition starter wiring harness on. What did you use to remove the wiring harness etorx bolts by the keyed ignition switch???
You just saved my life! Thank you
Darrell,
There is one on the coil that tells the coil when to fire. try " ignition switch" and just send him a link to the video. I remember searching for this and having a hard time explaining it. some guys are just convinced or confused by terminology.
Bro I have the same problem was going nuts I replaced the neutral safety switch with which did not fix now I know thanks bro
I myself jumped it off the radio fuse so it is tricking it to thinking it is working all you have to do is to find the radio fuse and find the bad fuse you can take a test light and it would show up negative on both sides I have no problems at all now
Jonda Tomlinson what do you mean you used the radio fuse ?
You mean you added a jumper wire from the ignition switch to the radio fuse?
Thanks, my transmission works again!
What part did he change out I can’t find it on auto zone
Good diagnosis..............
GREAT VIDEO
Only my gas gauge is going haywire but i do have the stalling going on I came across this video after i swapped a bunch of parts already! I've taken the old switch and cleaned it up trying to decide if a new switch would help me
Great video I have same issue I to 3 speed works but won't go to 4 should I change the solenoids or arnes thanks
I know its old but did you ever figure this out?
Yes it was my break light switch I have a video posted, u might want to see if u got break lights, or, it could be some thing with your neutral safety switch on the transmission
Great video. My truck is experiencing the the same symptoms. What is the part number and nomenclature used in ordering the harness. Thanks
my 92 G30 chevy van just had the lock there,following the bar down that the key moves when you turn it,about 1 foot is an electric. box the bar goes to
Would this cause your Speedometer to be off? Not a ratio or tire size problem. Owned it for 16 years and now my speedos off about 15 mph fast
Except that's the ignition switch. Otherwise great video.
you can also jump lead by using the radio fuse in the fuse that is bad I myself I use the radio fuse so it is controlled opposition but is also a temporary fix until you can afford to buy the part
Thanks Vincent
Truck is having intermittent issues, randomly loses speedo and tach, as soon as I lose tach and speedo it wants to stay in 3rd. Truck starts and runs fine and I can put it into second.
Did you have to do anything with the anti theft/security system or disconnect the battery before or after, or anything that might have to be Avoided or reset? I just don't want to trip the security. Also are your problems still gone from this fix?
Ok but the ignition control module is a part in the engine so im not sure what harness you bought but when i search up the part you name in this video I get a sensor that goes near the throttle, not a wire harness.
With mine I dont have a fuel gauge, speedo, odometer, and coolant gauges. I changed the cluster and all the same gauges didnt work. Any ideas?
Hey Vincent, thanks for making this video, I have a 97 silverado, and pressing the connector you talked about fixes de problem, please private message me your paypal account, you saved me a lot of trouble and money, thanks again
No worries man, i only have venmo, and consider it a CZcams gift. God knows ive been helped by youtube as well
my 98 is shifting up to 3rd then wont go into O/D would this be the issue here?
drumrooster hey did you ever try the switch for the problem you had on your truck and what did you end up doing
Thanks for your help you safe me a lot of money
I have a 1995 chevy truck 2wd,1500, and if i start it in park i cant get it out of park, so i have to turn it off,then turn the kea to where the shifter light turns on, put it in neutral,start it and then put it in drive, but if i put it in park i have to redue the process. could this be a similar prolbem???
Bad nuetral saftey switch
I have the same truck and problem. Do you have a part number.
im having that problem too did u find out problem?
Great video, I just replaced mine on a 99 Silverado and did not fix it. I just pushed the odometer reset and everything came on on the dash so I'm thinking it is something behind the cluster. Any thoughts?
Actually at 6:46min in , that little plug has the bad connection. Fix that and no need to change entire harness. Boom boom done.
very nice video man i have a 98 chevy c1500 5.0 auto and first and fourth gear wont work i took it to inspect it wit the computer and the code was Po753 its a Shift Selenoide A Electrical you think if i change that harness it might work or should i change the selenoides??
Changed my solenoid and it didn't work I'm gonna try this
You could practice video stabilization, I enjoyed the information but felt queezy in my stomach about mid point.
have the same issues with no codes safe to say the switch?
I have this same problem, but no codes. Replaced the switch but didn't work. Did the switch fix yours.
Damn your rocking thanks
hi did you get the speedometer working i have a 95 chevy 1500 thats is doing the same thing can you let me know what you did to get it to work thanks
Swap out the whole cluster?
Mines did the same I had put a rebuilt transmission in it saw it smoking from steering wheel it dont want to shit out of first well it did 1 time and was stuck in that gear do you think it is the ignition switch? I change the speed sensor and it does the same
Had to read your comment twice. Then I realized it was a typo. Very funny.
Called a1auto parts 2 times and they can't find this what are your thoughts
First time I called I said ignition control module they found one by coil they couldn't find the one that connects under the key ignition called back and talk to a manager and described where the part was under the key ignition a little black box with wires coming off of it and a big tail that plugs in and still he says no luck what's the name of part or part number
I have a 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 having shifting problem with shifter what was a slight problem going into reverse went to crank it today instrument panel showed it was in reverse I was given advice it was the safety neutral switch and of course it was not after installing the safety neutral switch still the same problem it shows that it is in reverse after I pulled the shifter down into low and back into Park the instrument showed that it was in neutral gauges started going crazy now I have no lights one cluster someone please advise
i have a 02 an it acts like its running out of fuel an bucking jerking around 40-50mph an i belive its in 2nd gear an shifts 2 3rd, wont go in od, could this be the same issue with mine? i did read a few times that it could be this, i replaced my tps and fuel filter thinkin they were the problems, now today i had another problem were all the lights came on in my dash an some gages stoped working, so wtf is going on wit my truck??
This has happens to me twice now, speedometer and rpm gauge wouldnt work, and was stuck in 3rd, had codes for shift solenoid A and B and for the Torque Converter solenoid
Did u figure this out I'm haveing same problem with my 96 Chevy I keep geting the codes 1860 1864 1886 an I changed the ignition wires an lock an changed all the selinoids in the pan
I got ah 2004 Tahoe with same problems, rpm works but no speedometer & truck stuck in 1st...did you fix it
@@jeffjones6796 did you fix your problem??
Israel,
You dont need to reprogram anything if this is the part your replacing.
mines a 95 Sierra GMC anyways it works when it wants to when it don't my speedometer and tachometer don't work and it starts in 3rd and stays there so what I got out ove your video u had the same problem so maybe I should change that module
Good shit. Ty.
Before you had no rpms correct?
So you don't have to get it reprogrammed?
Ok so are you sure your working on a 1998 my 98 looks nothing like yours
Different issue on my 98 silverado, speedo works great but no rpms, any comments on what this might be?
listen! just spry wd40 in the ignition switch and turn de key back and forward , put som more WD-40
Guillermo Silva the rpms have to do with the ignition where i put the key in??
@@isaacdinardo7751 I just did it in Two trucks and worked! They ignition switch Feed voltage to transmission
I rebuild my transmission 4L60E no change speed and no espidometer no work what can be the problems
You found the issue?
I don't understand though how this could be the problem my mechanic is telling me this isn't my problem when I have the same exact issues as you. He says my truck wouldn't even start it would be stalling. Can someone pls tell why this would work? Thank you.
Mike Geremino I'm gonna try this and let you know. I guess the ignition feeds the positive side of the transmission solenoid. so I could see how not having power to the solenoid valve could cause the issues
what is the part number? or do you have the ebay item number, please help, I have the same problem. Thank you!
ignition switch wiring harness
Was ur truck stuck in 3rd or not
Bro this fixed my truck 95 k1500 I was so close to spending 1000 on a rebuild . If you send me your cashapp I'll send you a thank you

Noone has ever offered. Thanks buddy. I appreciate that
i am doing that right now i have the same plom
What is it called
Ignition switch not control module
nice vedeo mate i have a big problem on my suburban 95: i change the automatic transmission to full manual transmission 5speeds and result the dam speedometer not working i check all conectores and wires everyting ok but i don"t make idea what going one i apreciate if someone know about electicall sistem i change the VSS speed sensor, bouth ABS sensores, i buy other cluster painel complet a lot money and keep in same "not signal on speed sensor" thanks regards from norway
Encontraste el problema?
Holy shit hold the freaking camera still
Do u have to reprogram
No. Not that I remember. If giving you issues, just unplug the battery for a while. But mine worked right away.
No I ain't put the ignition in yet
@@english515 I ain't put the ignition in yet I was just asking.i just put a transmission in and it still not shifting correctly and mechanics dont know that this will cause it
👍👍
i fix it by steping in da gas not giving a crap what happends to truck got fix after wards😏
Francisco Herrera I did that I was more expensive I ended up fucking up my transmission oil pump.
mines a 98 silverado 4x4 it shifts properly..but when i step all the gas it does moves but is like if the passing gear gets stuck??any one kno what could be the problem...my lever position sencor its broke could it ve that?
