Replying to: nivekrdz (Sep 10, 2007 1:57 pm) Replace with correct brake fluid. You don't state the age of the vehicle, but if the fluid has some years on it you can get high moisture content and the fluid will "boil" under high heat, like racing or slowing the vehicle on a long downhill run. Don;t know about the ABS light, but it will make the pedal feel soft/spongy.   Jim

#41 of 75 Changing Blazer Brake Pads by jkash76 Aug 25, 2007 (12:47 pm)
Anyone know an easy step by step guide on for changing the front and rear brake pads on a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4X4?    I would prefer not to buy a manual. I read the Haynes and it seemed a bit confusing...
#43 of 75 2001 Blazer Emergency Brake Pedal Acts Weird in Cold Weather? by cj4258 Dec 08, 2006 (1:55 pm)
2001 Chevy Blazer, bought used in June 2005 with 63,000 miles, now a little over 75,000. All recommended maintenence kept up in the past. Never wrecked.   On nights where the temperature hovers around or falls below freezing, the emergency brake pedal will "stick" in the engaged position when I pull the release handle. Sometimes I have to get my foot behind the pedal to help it forward and disengage the ebrake. Any other weather, no problems at all.   Last night it was WAY cold and I had to help the pedal forward after nothing happened when I pulled the release handle. When I got to my destination and pushed down the ebrake pedal, it didn't engage! It just snapped back forward to the disengaged position, and continues to do so.   I have yet to twist my body under the dash to look at it. Before I do, does anyone have any insight or experience with this weirdness? Possible cable wear maybe?
#44 of 75 Addendum by cj4258 Dec 08, 2006 (4:21 pm)
I forgot to add - the ebrake itself works fine and the cable appears undamaged at the pedal. This is strictly a pedal problem.   From what I can see, the "ratchet" workings themselves are behind a panel. Replies to this message: repairdog (Dec 09, 2006 4:13 am)

Replying to: cj4258 (Dec 08, 2006 4:21 pm) Yes, there is a release spring that sometimes the wiring bundle gets in the way of so have to get up in there and move it so spring works.
