Thank you for the answer on my winter/power button on my 2000 passport 2wd The new problem is that when it feels like it it wont go in reverse and only sometimes I can be at a stop light and it slips out of drive and I have to put it in 2nd to get it to move is there a sensor or solinoid problem?

let me guess no reverse. I blew mine 15 times one winter. the reverse in the 47re trans is made from aluminum and has 4 pinions. get a 48re same trans but stronger steel 6 pinion. you cant use the 2wd. need a 4x4 and If your keeping truck get a 48re not a bad 47re

Replace the switch. There are a well known common failure. You can find them at your local parts store for about $25. NAPA I know for sure can get them or will have them in stock. To replace simply pull out on the old one and it will pop out of the dash. Unplug it, plug in the new one, and you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH BUTTON WORN MORE LIKELY WHEN BUTTON STICKING IT WILL A TIME SWITCH WILL STOP WORKING.

Possible that the buttons are sticking or there is a switch failure on the panel which has made this to be caught in postion. If you are not able to use force to change then it can be that the button is stuck along with the base, use of a degreasing spray can help. Try using WD 40 . If not remove this panel and try before we can think of replacing.

Winter mode - Starts in 3rd gear to reduce slippage on ice or snow
Power mode has a delayed upshift when more powerful acceleration is required

traction control

Hello chowhound196: My name is Roger and I will help you. First I would change the fuel filter. If you still encounter problems I would check the fuel pump pressure. You did not state what engine is in your truck . So for a 4.8 0r 5.3 v-8 engine the pressure should be 55-62 psi. key on engine off. on a 5.7 engine the pressure should be 60-66 psi. Any pressure less will cause the engine to loose power to a will not start problem.There is always the possibility that the exhaust converter may cause a problem or the computer could cause a problem. A quick check for codes or a check engine lamp on would be cause to check the ecm for codes. Should you need further help please just ask.Please rate the answer. This way I know it was helpful Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

if im not mistaken the power button is used for towing the winter button is used for adverse wearher conditions such as snow -ice etc.(4wheel drive)
