Thursday and yes the pickup is still hooked up to the motorhome. Yesterday when we got here I was unhooking the pickup so we could go dump and fill with water I got into a little bit of a hurry. Note I have hook and unhook the pickup maybe a hundred times and I have already unhooked and hooked it up at Safelite in St. George when I got the motorhome window fixed on Wednesday.
Anyway I got into a hurry and when engaging the transmission I moved the ignition key to fast and the transmission is now stuck dis-engaged.
The steps are:
Foot on brake peddle
Turn ignition key to ON from OFF but steering wheel not locked
Pause = while the transmission engages
Move the shifter into Drive position
Move back to Neutral and start the engine.
I went from ignition key in OFF to START and then shifter to Drive.
I’ll be making up a new checklist.
Pickup is not happy, the dash saying it’s in low 4X4 and in fact the transmission is still dis-engaged. We have an appointment at the St. George Ford Dealership at 9:45 Monday morning to fix my mistake.
Oh well, as they say it would have been worse.
