reverse button - intermittent non function

[irish_redneck]

Does anyone else have this issue? Every once in a while hitting the reverse button does absolutely nothing. I have to turn off the ignition and start again and it will function.

I have seen it happen both from drive to reverse , and when in reverse trying to get to drive.

They are very touchy POS really... hit the button, it lights up reverse but is like in "neutral" (does nothing)- I just rocked it side to side and clicked in.
A dealer told me it's not lining up the splines all the time.

My neighbor did a 'lil service work along with chaincase oil & tightened the chain tension up some, it goes into forward/ reverse much better now.

I'm aware of that issue... Apparently that's a belt height on the secondary thing.

I'm talking light doesn't change at all.

PS. When are my a arm bushings gonna be ready? (in case you missed it in other thread )

 

[porkchop]

Oh you just got a shity phazer then

I did miss the bushing post, where was it?
Will find out tomorrow about getting some, got your # & will text.

I have the extended warranty , so think I'll try and make them change my little console unit.

whichever thread you said you got them for $27 rather than the $75 I was about to pay ulmers

reverse

I have the same problem when I run my belt too tight. Try adding a shim to the converter.

 

[irish_redneck]

hi mtotguy , are you refering to the blinking light not locking in issue, or the light not changing at all.

 

[mtotguy]

Reverse

The light would blink but reverse would not lock in.

 

[irish_redneck]

thought so but yeah, my light sometimes doesn't blink at all. it happened again last night. kill ignition, restart, works.

My 07 GT has done the same intermitently. I have the updated belt and secondary shim but sometimes when I press the reverse button nothing happens - no light, no buzzing. Whenever I test the reverse it always works - just never when I need it!

I hope someone has an answer.

Mine does it once in a while. Sometimes it's the idle that's high, sometimes it's when the fan is running. It's as if the pcm will not allow anything non-essential to run, such as hand warmers and reverse, from drawing power since the fan is such a high draw. There have been others that have had issues with the throttle position sensor causing this.

 

[irish_redneck]

so not just a simple matter of replacing the little box then, probably something I should make them look at during the spring, before my YES plan runs out

doubt my fan was running much last night it was -6 deg fahrenheit
