#1268 of 3283 Instrument Panel Bulb Replacement by blazoglory May 24, 2005 (6:44 am)
My 1994 Chevy Blazer (S-10)'s instrument light has apparently burned out (don't know my speed, fuel level, etc). I don't believe it's the fuse, as the warning lights and sounds associated with the panel light fuse are working. The garage wants $75 to remove the dash. Is this a repair a do-it-yourself-er can manage? If so, what's the drill?

Replying to: randallflagg (May 22, 2005 1:59 pm) I take it you're talking about the rear brake lights, right? If so, which side should I insert the screwdriver? Talked to the dealer's mechanic just to see what their response would be, of course they said they never heard of doing this, but I trust you have. Does it always work? What if when I lower the tailgate I can't get it back up, is that a possibility? I worry 'cause this car is garaged and if I can't get it back up, I won't be able to put it in the garage. Anyway, these are my concerns and I really thank you for responding..

#1271 of 3283 2004 blazer by steve72 May 24, 2005 (6:01 pm)
I have a 2004 blazer with 21000 miles. The wife ran out of gas on an incline. She filled up the tank with about 8 or 10 gallons of gas, but the blazer still won't start. In fact, when you turn the key, the fuel gauge reads empty, and you can't hear the fuel pump engage. Don't tell me I'm going to have to take this to a mechanic all because she ran out of gas. Any suggestions?

Replying to: sswigart (May 04, 2005 7:22 am) Well I am feeling your transmission pain!! I have a 98 blazer and it started slipping at about 2 rpm region took it to a dealer like an idiot and told me the transmission is shot..not about to pay them tons to fix it so i was looking into getting a used one but I was thinking about getting it rebuilt. I dont think i will ever buy another blazer, in 2 years i have replaced the radiator, water pump, alternator, lower ball joints and now the transmission. Unbelieveable! I am glad it just isnt me having these problems that i am reading about... Gretchen Replies to this message: commdb (May 31, 2005 5:47 am)
#1273 of 3283 Re: Hub Assembly [lalo3] by ugarph1982 May 25, 2005 (7:24 am)
Replying to: lalo3 (May 14, 2005 5:29 pm) I have the same problem with my '00 Jimmy. I've found an OEM GM updated part for $195. The thing is that so many other things on the truck rattle that I can handle one more noise from the bearing. My question: Does the loose assembly produce a safety concern? Is there a much higher chance that it could pop off during operation and cause a huge mess, or is it simply going to be an annoyance and just fail non-catastrophically at some time? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
#1274 of 3283 Blazer A/C Problems by gabhanjacisa May 25, 2005 (10:48 am)
1989 S-10 Blazer 4x4 2.8L engine (replaced 4.3L). I bought this car in 2003, thought the a/c just needed charged. It was still an R12 system. I decided not to convert to R134 and I bought a product called Freeze12 and followed the directions. In a nutshell, I have replaced a leaking high pressure discharge hose. There are no leaks at all in the system. There is a full charge of Freeze12 in the system. I put on a new low pressure switch on the accumulator. The clutch engages then disengages continuously (start-stop-start-stop, etc.), like it did before I replaced this switch. If I jump the low pressure switch, the clutch runs like it should, but no cold air at any time. The belt is not squeeling, as I believe it would be if the compressor was bad. If I drive with the a/c or defroster on (whether with the jumper on or using the switch like I should), the a/c-heater fuse blows in a very short time. I can only drive with the heater or the vent on without the fuse blowing, but I get vent air coming out of the floor heater and front window defroster if I have the control switch set to Heater, and vent air coming out of the floor heater and vents if I have the control switch set Vent. No cold air blows at any time. (The air coming out of the wrong vents was a problem before I did any under-the-hood a/c work, and I previously replaced the entire heater-a/c controls on the dash, as well as the blower switch, to no avail.)   Suggestions appreciated.
#1275 of 3283 Re: 99 Blazer 4x4 driveline noise / howl [rmn] by geoffafloat May 26, 2005 (7:52 am)
Replying to: rmn (Apr 04, 2005 3:45 pm) I have a 2000 Blazer which I bought new. I have replaced both left and right front wheel bearing hubs and upper and lower ball joints. These part failures started right around 30,000 miles with the latest problem a left front bearing hub at 56,000. Today my Blazer is in the shop for a front right wheel bearing second time replacement at 61,000 miles. The right was replaced in February 04 with 50,000 miles on the vehicle so I didn't get very many miles out of and it's out of warranty. Anyway the wheel bearing was making a loud humming sometimes howling sound. These repairs are still less than a new car payment but I am disappointed with this vehicle and because of this experience I won't buy GM again.
#1276 of 3283 Re: 1995 Chevy Blazer-Blinking Service Engine Soon Light [dblgr0069] by shadowblade28 May 26, 2005 (6:54 pm)
Replying to: dblgr0069 (Apr 18, 2005 8:08 am) Your Service Engine Soon light blinks only for type A Miss-fires. The oil/Coolant leaks could be shorting out your Ignition system. If not that then your plugs may be Fouled, or wires may need replacing. As a side note, Check Timing chain for ware, should be checked after 100k. Check bottom of heads for leaks. You may need head job. Both antifreeze and oil are in the heads and may be leaking from same place.
#1277 of 3283 Noise in right front when I apply and release brakes by joevette May 26, 2005 (9:28 pm)
Whenever I press and release the brakes on my 96 blazer LS, there is a loud noise that appears to be coming from right front side. Have changed the rotor, calapier, brake pads, and shocks. Need help finding out what's causing the noise and how to fix it
