Tow/haul mode was previously working fine. I was using the truck at work to listen to music for a few days while we set up our receiving docks. I made sure to start and use the truck once in a while so the battery wouldn't discharge too much. However, the battery was the original and over 7 years old, so by the end of the 2nd day the truck turned over very slowly. It started, but sputtered right away before the idle evened out. When this happened, I noticed that the tow/haul indicator was lit on the dashboard and pushing the button would not turn it off. I shut off the truck and restarted it. The light was off on the dashboard, but pushing the button would not activate the light or tow/haul mode. Its been that way for the last 2 months now. Did something happen when the battery ran down and the truck barely started to mess up tow/haul mode? Is there a fuse for the switch perhaps?

The battery was replaced the next day, btw.
I'd do what the previous posters did, and check out possibility of wire issues. If that's not it, then that's at least one possibility eliminated.

Checked on lunch break and the wire is good.

Other ideas?
