Been having transmission fault problems with my truck since the battery died a few years back and lit the dashboard up like a Christmas tree. The dealer tried to charge me 7k for a new transmission to which I told them to go do ****** things to themselves. I had the car jumped(for the low low price of $400) and got myself down to the next nearest dealership who said I just needed a new battery.
So far I've replaced the battery + brake lights + brake switch + the F33 glovebox fuse in an attempt to fix the "transmission fault" problem. The fix lasts until the fuse blows and then the power seats/mirrors don't work properly. The manual transmission select works occasionally, but more often than not does nothing when I switch it from drive to manual.
Every time I replace the F-33 fuse all of the warnings disappear and I can use transmission select as usual. This is particularly mind boggling to me as I don't understand how the power mirrors and seats could possibly be influencing the transmission select.
I'm at a loss of what to do at the moment, and the only thing I have to go off of is the fact that only 4 of the five brake lights light up when I push on the brake pedal. (2 left side, center light, and only one light on the right side.)
Any help would be seriously appreciated as I can't really afford a 7k transmission replacement right now.
