You are in the Chevrolet Blazer Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
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) 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

All of the gauges,Cig lighter,accessory plug ins, Work.... The one thing that I find interesting is the reading lamps... They work when you unlock the truck fine. But when you go to turn them on when the door is closed and the dimmer switch is all the way up but not All the way on ( if that makes any sense) they will not turn on... I really do not understand that one... Right now im just gonna find the short for the parking lights and go from there i guess

Replying to: toleson (Dec 17, 2007 5:23 pm) About your 4WD, I'd recommend checking all of the vacuum hoses, especially the one going to the actuator (under the battery tray). If vacuum hoses are all on tight and not broken, my bet would be that the actuator itself is probably bad. Just pop out the battery & battery tray, and it's right under there. That's the most common problem with the these 4WDs. Good luck & let us know how you do!
