#3287 of 3449 Front axle won't engage on 4wd. by impalacab Oct 01, 2008 (10:03 pm)
I can't get the front axle to engage when changing into 4wd. I have checked the relays, they work. The switch work, and when pressing 4HI when driving, you can feel it engage. 4LO changes the transmission into low gear, but still not 4wd. When raising the vehicle and go to 4wd, the drive shaft to the front axle start to rotate as well. The vacuum actuator under the battery tray works and pulls the wire real strong. But the front wheels still wont rotate. I think the problem must be inside the front axle!? Do anyone have any suggestions? Please help, I need the 4wd when the snow start to fall. 1998 Blazer LT Replies to this message: adamg70 (Feb 20, 2009 4:35 am) impalacab (Feb 20, 2009 5:32 am)

Replying to: 20blazer00 (Sep 26, 2008 10:20 pm) Ok, after some digging, and twisting arms and pulling hair, I finally got told the deal as to why my new remote wouldnt program. As it turns out, it does have to do with the after-market alarm. Its a GM after market alarm, and the old remote was for it. But, now for the bad part, that remote and its replacement are no longer made. It took a Chevy Parts man 4 hours to figure everything out. I went to places where alarms are sold and put in. About 15 of them and it was like, they just stared at me like I had something wrong with me. Came home and searched online remote outlets like keylessride and the like and still no luck. One gu told me I could just search for the FCC number instead of the P/N. But would that work? Find one that ues the same freq range? Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Oct 03, 2008 5:15 am)

Replying to: 20blazer00 (Oct 02, 2008 3:51 pm) Did the vehicle originally have remote keyless entry installed at the factory? Look on the white tag in the glove box for the code AU0.   AU0 : LOCK CONTROL, REMOTE ENTRY – KEYLESS ENTRY (DOMESTIC)   If the vehicle had this installed at the factory, the OEM key fob for that year model would work.   I even took my 2002 which did not have RKE originally, installed the receiver (harness is already there, just plugs in above the parking brake), ordered a couple of fobs, had the dealer "tell" the body control module that the RKE was there, programmed the fobs, and voila, everything works perfectly.

Replying to: 20blazer00 (Sep 26, 2008 10:20 pm) no, It didnt come with one. Thats why it has what they call a dealer installed alarm or remote system. There for It has a remote that they put with it. ANd since I didnt have it put in, it was in when I bought it, I have no Idea which dealer did. So, Im out of luck there.I guess I could go to a dealer and get another put in to replace this one. Or just get a viper or another brand put in.  I did hear about buying the chip and box to have remote working, but, how much is it and how hard is it to install?
#3291 of 3449 Re: Heater won't work in our 1998 chevy blazer [pribylcrew] by sealteam8 Oct 04, 2008 (10:01 pm)
Replying to: pribylcrew (Jan 14, 2007 5:59 pm) The 02 sensor has nothing to do with the heater. Either the thermostat doesnt work or it could be low on antifreeze. As well as the heater core might be cracked. ANy smell of antifreeze in the cab of the truck? If not check the thermostat...
#3292 of 3449 parking brake release broken by brian352chevy Oct 05, 2008 (3:58 pm)

#3293 of 3449 Stuck parking brake! by sealteam8 Oct 05, 2008 (9:22 pm)
You can try to crawl under the truck and pull on the cable by hand really hard to get it to release. But BE CAREFULL WEAR SOME GLOVES! It will be tight, if that doesnt work try to get it to release from under the dash i know the release is broken but u might be able to put a screw driver in there and pop it loose as well
#3294 of 3449 Found the resaon why my 4x4 won't engage by pvanaman Oct 27, 2008 (11:14 am)
95 Blazer, when trying to put it in 4 hi or lo, lights flicker and it stays in 2 wheel drive, also no heat or a/c coming from the 4 vents above the radio. The reason: PCV valve was bad. Obviously, the 4 wheel drive and the heat-a/c get their vacuum source from the PCV valve, While I was tracing the vacuum lines I accidently pulled the PVC valve from the valve cover. I noticed it wasn't rattling when I shook it so I replaced it ($5) and now everything works!

Replying to: vlkohanski (Nov 21, 2000 8:50 pm) Another time saver is run a light from your ground on the battery and other end to a ground,,light should turn on if short. If on, go to fuse box and pull one fuse at a time and replace. Do this until the light goes out,,this will at least isolate the problem.
