I had the same problem and narrowed it down to the little cross bar that goes across the battery. It was making a very irritating squeaking noise. I fixed it by tightening up the two 10 millimeter bolts.
Hope this helps!

Hello, I just got my TB last October. I want to hook it up.
But I'm a girl and I have no idea how to hook it up. I wanna put a TV for my daughter and rims... Any websites or ideas on what kind or TV or rims or speaker should I put into...
 
Thanks,

I have the same model and year and just found out that the same thing is wrong with my tank. I have just about 50K miles and I waiting for a response from GM it has been a week now and they keep saying that they can't get a hold of the service manager for the local dealership. Just before this happened the catalytic converter went out when I got it back the check engine light came on and it was the cracked tank. I have had no major problems before and this is the third Trailblazer that I have purchased.

I just purchased a 2007 Trailblaser, with 700 miles on it !! I have a annoing wind noise coming from the design of the outside rear view mirrors, The dealer said Chevy engineers have known about this for years This is a BS answer I got fron Chevy !! , I have to make the radio louder when Im driving !! I even tried tilting the mirrors inward, Dealer says the mirrors need a contoured airflow bubble on the front of them to deflect the airflow, Anybody have this problem ?

I just bought my 04 Chevy TB in November and last week buttons 3-6 weren't lit up anymore. Took it in today and they said there aren't/there isn't an option to replace bulbs so they ordered me a brand new radio. It will be installed in couple of days. Kinda has me a little concerned now with hearing your story. I am just curious, when you turn your heat off does it keep blowing warm/hot air out of the vents? And for anyone, FYI Here is a list of things which I have had issues with since November 06 when I bought the TB:
1) Brown out of the headlights which would appear to other drivers as though you are flashing your high beams and this causes a power surge and causes the voltage the voltage to go up for a very brief period of time. This is caused by a thing for emissions that draws 8 amps of power. The brown out happened ONCE all the way home from work, other than that just once when I first pull away. I had it in 2 times for this problem. The first time I wasn't satisfied with "this is a known issue with the TB's and there is NO fix. So, took it in again about this.......yep, NO fix
2) A "crack" or "pop" from the drivers side window when its cold out. They fixed this.
3) Service engine soon light came on. Turned out to be because I didn't have the gas cap on right.
4) Service engine soon light came on. They replaced the O2 sensor.
5) There was a scratch on the truck that I didn't see when we bought it, took it back within the 1st week and they repainted it beautifully.
6) The passenger side tail/brake light was being goofy plus, it had condensation inside the plastic and was causing some of the interior stuff to peel. They replaced the entire light fixture.
7) There is a "squeaking" noise in the suspension. Took it in, long story, can't be fixed right now. Will be looked at again in a couple days.
8) Lights 3-6 on pre programmed buttons for radio stopped lighting up last week. There are no bulbs that can be replaced So they are ordering a new radio and will replace the old one in a few days.

I'm curious. Do you know what caused the problem and what they did to fix it? My first thought was that the sound was caused by thermal expansion but I'm not sure how they would fix that problem.

Yep, they replaced the door panel "clips". Have you had yours looked at for it?

I don't have a Blazer but had a similar problem in a used car I had for a short time many years ago - though I never bothered to get it fixed.

I had the same problem. Here's the fix. Raise the hood, and take a look at the bumper stops,Turn them about 1 ich to a inch and a half upward. That will fix the squeek.It fixed mine .And NOBODY in the world hates squeeks than me.

Russ, I posted the same question. I just got an 07 Trailblaser, The answer I got is ...Ready for this one ??? Chevrolet has know about this wind noise problem since 2005. The noise is coming from the design of the outside rear view mirrors!! They are causing wind turbulance cause of the design, they need a smoother rounded shape to make the wind flow over them !!! It's annoying, I have to make the radio louder at 50 mph , Its a bullshit answer too. I'm gonna bug the hell out of Chevy till its corrected !!!! Supposingly they are working on a new design ???
