1. Remove center climate control panel. Literally just pulls off with spring clips around its perimeter. Disconnect four connectors.
2. Remove rear plastic cover from climate control panel. Unplug CDL/Hazard switch module (small white connector).
3. Go back to truck, on the dangling connector C9 short together pins 4 (black) and 5 (red-with-blue-stripe) and turn ignition to “on”. You should hear CDL motor run retracting the lock. Shorting the wires is simply telling the CDL ECU that the button is “out”.
4. Drive around like a slow fool until the CDL releases.
5. Reassemble and replace the center climate control panel, leaving the CDL/Hazard module unplugged until you find a replacement module or fix that one.
