- Start date
Going to be on the Kenai river tomorrow then anchorage to drop of kids at airport. How long will you be in Homer? Go to Fat Olives for lunch. Great eats and wine
I ended up leaving Homer bc of rain. Drove all the way back up to Wasilla, go to park, take shifter from D to P and M&S start flashing.
Yes the R appears when in Reverse. Yes the red lights on the shifter light up when in R.
Get back to me when you wake up. It's like 12:30am here now. You can call or whatever way you want.

If the R indicators are working then I don't think my adjustment idea will help because the objective of the adjustment would be to get them to illuminate. Sounds like it's time to head back down to Anchorage and go see Far North Rovers to have their used XYZ installed. If they have the right equipment (e.g. TestBook) they can read XYZ outputs. Did they do that when you were there yesterday?
Here is the RAVE description of the effect of a P0705 code (XYZ switch incorrect outputs) - Maintains current gear in low range, limp home mode in high range. Shift pressure to maximum, harsh gear shifts/engagement. P0705 illuminates both M&S lights and the SES light.
If you do get the FNR XYZ installed keep your old switch to rebuild when you get home and keep it as a spare, or reinstall it and rebuild the other one and have it as a spare. I keep one in my glove box.
Although they all look the same on the outside I've heard there as many as four versions of the XYZ internals. I've seen two different ones personally.

Sorry, I've been offline for a few hours. No programming. No tool required either. If you read my LRF post I linked earlier it's all there - 10mm and 13mm wrenches, and probably some kind of small scraper like a pocket knife and maybe some sandpaper or a pot scrubber.
OK after some help from Discostew and Mike in NC, I've had the alternator tested really well and I'm confident that it's gonna make it at least for Calgary. My instincts are telling me that this problem has been related to me using a dual output 750w converter. I'm thinking the Land Rover electrical system doesn't like having 5 to 10 Amps being drawn on it. So I have left Anchorage and we are headed towards Tok, AK for tonight, and eventually Calgary in a few days. I'm going to head back into the Yukon to Watson Lake and then head south on 37 through the center of BC. I have a spare XYZ switch waiting for me in Calgary at an indy shop.
I made it all the way down the Cassiar Hwy 37 to Kitwanga, BC. Beautiful drive. Very remote. Black Bears and Moose were everywhere. From the 37/Hwy 1 Junction just west of Watson Lake all the way down to Hwy 16, I had zero cell signal. Like 12 hrs straight. Only went through 4 "towns". They don't have cell phones I guess.
Good news is that I've had zero M&S Limp issues since I left Anchorage. Will be in Canadian Rockies today/tonight.

Do Canadians eat slugs? I thought snails were a Frenchie thing. Or you talking about the shotgun variety... in the army we called those knock knocks, as in door openers. Guess they work well for bears huh?
