Replying to: leoandme (Dec 11, 2007 7:02 pm) Oh, I agree it's probably not a universal solution but it's great work. Perhaps you and Bradtown would consider writing up a "Guide?" (see the link at the top of this page)   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#3083 of 3449 2000 Chevy Blazer - Radio short and dead battery by klupammo Dec 12, 2007 (9:12 am)
The radio on the Blazer will start to turn off and on when the car gets warmed up. It won't do it when you initially turn the car on but after about 10 minutes it starts its problem. The off and on times vary, they are not consistent.   Also, the car battery dies at wierd times. The car may go for two day or three weeks without the battery dying but it will die at some point. It may start in the driveway but die at the store. It is not a complete death either. It will click the starter solenoid or the hood light may turn on but dim. We are not sure if the battery problem is part of the radio problem.   Any Ideas? Replies to this message: klupammo (Dec 12, 2007 3:10 pm) johnss10 (Jul 12, 2008 3:00 pm)

Replying to: klupammo (Dec 12, 2007 9:12 am) One other thing to note on the radio. If the radio is shut off, the power will still go on and off. The clock will go out and come back on. I can not find a short.
#3085 of 3449 heater core by rankin Dec 12, 2007 (4:58 pm)
97 Jimmy....heater core has a small leak but it sure stinks up the place and scums over the windshield. So to get the heater core out for repair or replace, do I have to take out the whole dashboard from one side of the car to the other? Maybe the windshield too? Ha. seriously this looks like a bear to remove. I'm not scared to do it, just want to know how to attack.   Al

I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer, it keeps giving me code P0301 - Misfire on #1 Cylinder, I have replaced the spark plug 3 times and the wires are new. I had to replace the engine a few months ago with another used engine. I don't know what else to check. Any suggestions?   Thanks.

#3089 of 3449 1995 chevy blazer electrical issues by toleson Dec 15, 2007 (9:59 pm)
I just bought a 95 blazer and it got hit in the rear. Now the fuse for the rear parking light keeps blowing when you go to turn the lights on... Also i noticed that there are no back lights for the gages and the 4 wheel drive push button system on the dash isnt working... lights or anything... is it possible that all of this is because of that fuse?

Replying to: toleson (Dec 15, 2007 9:59 pm) Hi toleson,   The fuse for the rear parking lights and the gauge fuse are on different circuits, so it sounds like you've got two different problems. Firstly, it sounds like the rear parking light problem resulted from the truck being hit. I'd recommend tracing the wiring in the back to make sure that the wires going to the back lights aren't pinched or broken. If they're okay, one of the tail lights might have been damaged and needs to be replaced. That should solve that fuse blowing problem.   Now, onto the other problem with the gauge lights and 4x4 lights. Did you check the fuse to make sure that it's not blown as well? And the dashboard light adjustment is turned up to brighten the display? If that's all in order, you may have a wiring problem. Or your 4WD actuator might be the problem. Is your 4WD still engaging when you press the button for 4HI or 4LOW even though the lights don't show? It's really difficult to tell at that point. You'll just have to start testing the different systems that are related to the things that aren't working to track down what's causing the lights not to work. Unless the accident was bad enough to damage more than just the tail lights, the two problems will have two separate solutions.   Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Maybe you can give us some more information about the gauge lighting problem?   Good Luck, leo & me Replies to this message: toleson (Dec 15, 2007 11:11 pm)

Replying to: leoandme (Dec 15, 2007 11:03 pm) The truck has two brand new tail lights in it. The brake lights work but no parking lights. That issue keeps popping the #3 fuse.... Wich indicates to me a short. Like you said a pinched or Exposed wire. That doesnt bother me all that much that should be nothing. The Truck really wasnt hit that bad. Ive known the person that I bought it from all my life and he doesnt lie to me and I know how he is. I have faith in that. All of the other Fuses in the Block by the drivers door are good ( aside from the number three fuse) I dont however have a tester at this time to see if indeed there is power to the 4X4 switch... I will have further updates tomorrow once this Damn Nor Eastern Gets all done.   Do you know of anywhere online that might be able to hook me up with a wiring diagram?
