How to release the secondary latch to lower the spare tire on a chevrolet truck?

September 21st, 2009 | by admin |

A day or two ago, I took down the spare, raised the cable back up with no tire on it.

Today, the original tire is fixed and time to put the spare back under the truck. I lower the cable but the “secondary latch” never releases.
I’ve even gone so far as to follow the INSTRUCTIONS, but to no avail.

Any input is greatly appreciated or I’ll have to suicide myself.

    Try putting some weight on the cable when lowering. If you don’t the cable can get tangled in the housing. ( if that happened work the cable up and down while turning the winch mechanism ) I have a GMC sonoma and had the same thing happen. You could try “self-euthenization” but that will just send you to an alternate dimension completely devoid of chevys. Not cool. Hang in there kiddo!
