Hey All,
Looking for a bit of help on some electrical issues I'm having with my 2000 K2500 (has the 454 in it). Some of the dash warning lights started flickering on and off a while back (ABS/seatbelt/e-brake) but not a big deal. Truck still started and ran fine, then the ac blower fan would only work on High. Again no big deal, but now she won't shift from 2 to 4 wheel drive. I'm up in the mountains and slipping and sliding in 2wd in the snow sucks. Again, still fires right up and drive fine.
The battery was 9+ years old so I swap that out and cleaned the +/- wiring that connect to the battery. That didn't do the trick so started researching more and it sounds like maybe a bad ground somewhere? Does having all 3 of these issues at once indicate a specific ground I should look for? Also saw posts about an ignition switch possibly being the issue in some of these cases. It's below freezing out where I am so trying to get together a game plan before crawling under!
Thanks in advance for any help.
