The best instructor ever. None of your students should fail.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found the video helpful ☺️
Omg! This video fix the problem, thank you!!
I just spend $45 for the mechanic to come and say to change the whole shifter
You're welcome and thanks for watching! 😊
GREAT VIDEO,INFO, STEP BY STEP..... 👏
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Awesome!
By far one of the best videos I have watched a long time. I have a 22/23 trailblazer that is having to shift to park come up on the dash. And will not allow the vehicle to be turned “off”. I am going to try this and let you know what happens. Keep up the good work man. Two 👍 to you brother.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm not sure if it will work on your Trailblazer but it won't hurt to try and see what happens lol. Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Actually it’s a Blazer😬. Didn’t have to use new harness as you did in your video. Exercised micro switch and is working great. Actually had my girlfriend do it with me (her vehicle).
Always happy to learn and pass knowledge along thanks to you sir.
Have a blessed day brother.
Ahhh ok, a Blazer makes more sense lol. Glad you cleared it up with the exercise. 🙂
I have a 2018 Traverse, I had the dealer install the extra harness but still get the message intermittently. The root cause is the cheap Micro switch that you highlight in the @2:18 in the video.
Yes indeed, that's what mine ended up doing and so have to replace the shifter unit. It's terrible that the micro switch goes out that frequently, they should have upgraded or made it a better quality switch. Either way, we'll have a video out on how to replace the whole shifter assembly soon. So stay tuned! 😉
Q: What does the jumper do? The GM bulletin that you show at the beginning of the video states and instructs how to install the switch you show so I bought both the switch and the harness. I replaced both and thanks to your video and a few other I saw what I needed. I found the GM bulletin had a couple problem and I'm surprised their images are so poor as I viewed it on line. Your video was helpful, thank you!
You're welcome, glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching! 👍
Amazing video, so I don’t need to change the whole shifter? Just this wire and the shift to park will go away?
Correct! The jumper harness should make it go away. Thanks for watching! 👍
My problem is we swap transmission from Equinox to my 2011 and by hand seems like all the gears work but with out turning on the vehicle it wont gear into park. Please help if anyone has or knows the issue so we don’t want not even started the vehicle , i know it said and read before , that some vehicle when is swap like that it needs to be re programed could that be my problem thanks in advance
I've got a 2019 traverse, less than 45000 miles. Started misbehaving about a month ago. What does this harness actually do?
Not sure how it works to be honest but it did seem to fix the issue for now. Thanks for watching! 👍
This is great, but absolutely BS we have to deal with this. Do dealerships know about your Service Bulletin?
I agree! The dealerships should be well aware of this service bulletin. You can show them this video and they should see the bulletin number and go from there. Thanks for watching! 👍
Still getting the shift to park alert after install. Any ideas?
Time to replace the shifter assembly. Thanks for watching! 👍
This "jumper doesn't replace the switch. Though also not sure what the "jumper" does. If you think about it the switch is bad that's what needs to ve replaced so. This is a great video but feel though this doesn't resolve the issue. The cleaning of the contacts with the flicking makes sense but yeah.
Couldn't agree more! @aronjohn84
So far so good but I think it's just a matter of time before the shifter or switch will simply need to be replaced. Thanks for watching! 👍
My problem is I have a shift to park up message and when I go to turn my car off, it won’t turn off. I mean it will turn off, but it still stays on if that makes any sense like I have to disconnect my battery to completely turn it off, because of that shift to park up
I’m having the same problem and it won’t crank
Did you fix it?
Nope you have any onsite?
That part number for that harness disables the auto stop/start. I don't think it has nothing to do with the shift into park issue.
I'm not sure either but it didn't disable my auto start/stop feature after installing it. Thanks for watching! 👍
I bought a 2015 Chevy Malibu with 21000 miles on it just today. Already having the Shift to park BS
Oh wow, sorry to hear that! I think this Traverse started acting up around 50k miles. Smh, been the only problem I've had this far.
I see video is 2 months old,, has the problem come back at all? Thanks
Yup! Unfortunately, it resurfaced this last week one time and then stopped again. At this point, I'm going to replace the whole shifter assembly, so stay tuned! 😉
That sucks, I just installed pigtail today, $15 @ dealer. Fingers crossed. Not sure if you can just source the microswitch or not
