#3346 of 3449 Re: Fuel Pump Problems [s10mojo] by jlflemmons Mar 04, 2009 (7:18 am)
Replying to: s10mojo (Mar 02, 2009 9:17 pm) Well, the fuel pump is inside the fuel tank. Quick way to tell if it is totally dead is to turn the key to on, not start, and see if you hear a buzz/hum come from the gas tank. This will tell you if it is getting power. Then, a pressure test will tell you if the pump is working to spec. Any shop should be able to check this for you. If those are both good, there could be a problem in the "spider" that feeds the fuel injection. At this point, you are probably approaching the purchase price, but if this vehicle is in otherwise good shape, with 63K miles on it, there are still a lot of valuable parts to work with! Salvage parts have gotten very pricey, so weigh your alternatives.

Replying to: auto9999 (Mar 03, 2009 7:40 am) I am a bit confused with your question. To change the turnsignal bulbs, the grill snaps off and you can access both sides. If you are talking fog/driving lights, they are accessable from underneath. Replies to this message: auto9999 (Mar 08, 2009 7:52 pm) jlflemmons (Mar 09, 2009 4:58 pm) auto9999 (Mar 11, 2009 6:35 pm)

Replying to: jlflemmons (Mar 04, 2009 7:20 am) Hi jlflemmons,   Thank you for your message.   I am thinking of taking out the entire turn signal assembly - about 1.5 feet wide, a few inches tall, a few inches deep - with the orange plastic front plate equipped with the turn signal only. Then I would install a replacement assembly with both the turn light and the fog lamp.   image example: http://ketech-llc.amazonwebstore.com/shared/viewProductImage.html?http://ecx.ima- - - ges-amazon.com/images/I/41X6Z1Jxc-L.jpg   The assembly seems to be being fixed to the bumper unit by screws but I do not see the screws from in the engine room or from under the bumper.   The body shop knowingly installed the wrong assemblies - he said that he found a used set of parts without the fog lamp at a discount price. I benefited from the pricing, so I felt I would not ask the body shop to redo the job.   I would appreciate if you could tell me how to remove the turn signal assembly.

Replying to: auto9999 (Mar 08, 2009 7:52 pm) Well, as I type this I am sitting in my garage with the assembly sitting next to me. The grill and turnsignal assembly is all one piece and is held in by snap clips. Open the hood and pull on the top of the grill gently and the top snaps will come out. Pull on the ends of the turnsignals and those snaps will come out. Unscrew the turn signal bulbs and the whole assembly is right there in your hands.

#3351 of 3449 gear shift indicator light flashes with turns signals by pvanman Mar 26, 2009 (6:31 pm)
ok here;s a new one, I replaced the flashers on my 95 s-10 Blazer, now the gear shift indicator light flashes when I put on the turn signals, (column shifter) I bought and installed another new flasher thinking the first new flasher was bad, but the same thing happens with the second new flasher. The gear shift indicator wasn't flashing before with the old flasher installed. Any ideas? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 26, 2009 6:34 pm) pvanman (Mar 28, 2009 1:15 pm)

Replying to: pvanman (Mar 26, 2009 6:31 pm) cheap parts maybe? wrong part?   Did someone hand you this or did you look it up on a chart from a chain store or was this a dealer item?   What I'm driving at is that if you went to a chain store, you might try something a notch up, like NAPA.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 26, 2009 6:34 pm) Mr. Shiftright, took your advice, bought another flasher this time at NAPA, and, bingo! Turn signals work and the shifter light is back to working normally. The place I bought the original flasher the guy at the counter didn't speak English too well and I think we had a breakdown in communication. Lesson learned.   Thanks again for your advice.
#3354 of 3449 Removing starter motor in 1995 Chevy Blazer 4WD 6 cylinder by chevyride22 Mar 31, 2009 (9:45 am)
What is the easiest and best way to remove a starter motor from a 1995 Chevy Blazer 4WD 6 cylinder? Should I remove the connections first? I tried removing the connections from the starter by going through the wheel well. I also tried dropping the starter to get to the connections, but could not get the starter to come out. Do I need to take the flywheel cover off, or should I be able to get the starter out without removing the cover? The flywheel cover bolts are very tight (cannot loosen even with air tools). Please advise on how to take starter motor out. Thanks. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 31, 2009 10:17 am)
