Truck is loosing Park indicator...... no start at all
Ok hopefully someone can help me with this. I will fill in the entire story and try not to leave anything out.
A few weeks ago I made a attempt at working around the immobilizer system on my truck. What i did was removed the immobilizer (box and ring around ignition cylinder) and left it pulgged in. ran it under the dash and inserted the chipped key in the loop. basically telling the truck that the chipped key was always in it. It has been working fine for a few weeks now until this morning. When i started it it would start fine and cut right back off. I tried this like 3 times. So i decided to put it back as it was factory and try it. Now when i put the key in the ignition everything looks normal. but when I turn the key to start the park indicator light turns off and it does nothing. If i turn the key back on position the indicator comes back on, then turns right back off when i try to start. all other gears are showing up when i change the position just no park on start. I also noticed that the steering wheel lock isnt coming unlocked.
OK. I just went out and checked to see if neutral was showing up. It is and the truck will start in neutral. And i can then put it in park. which i believe is actually in park because it doesnt roll. but still no indicator on the dash.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
