    the power and winter switches are the same assembly.. are you sure the switch isnt working? the light on mine went out.. its very easy to replace.... 8 screws to remove the center console and then the switches just push through the top of the console and the new one will push right into place and you can reuse the old connector... rodeos and troopers have the same switches so you can get it from them too

    Good points...

    I ordered the new unit from St Charles...I'm too lazy do go down the JY path...yeah, the light is off...and the shift points don't change when it's depressed...winter button light comes on/works.

    Do you mean the switch light on the button doesnt light so you can't see it at night to turn it on? Or that the switch doesnt tell the transmission to go into power mode, and have "power" written on your instument cluster near the speedo?

    did you try to hook up the wires to the "winter" switch to see if you could engage the "power" mode?

    the power and winter mode switch is one unit with one plug, you can't switch the wiring around... well im sure you could.. but it would take FAR more effort than its worth

    Oh well, if you already ordered anyways. Was worth a shot if it was a quick and easy troubleshooting method.
