I've got a blazer with over 100k miles on it. In the past couple of days, I drive down the road and it sounds like the right turn signal is constantly on. Is this the precursor to a serious electrical problem? Any advice appreciated. Thanks -

Just to rule it out - but is there any possibility that something is tapping against the steering column such as a keychain or somesuch?

You are lucky this time cause the flasher is a recall item (had mine done free) that is part of the mulifunction switch - all they do is pop the harzard switch out the top of the column and put a new one in - due to failed brake lights because the flashers use same circuit but the top mount or third brake light still works. This should cure the problem. Behind the glove box are 2 relays or canisters 1 for flashers and 1 for blinkers - thats where you hear the noise I'd guess. Earlier models often replace the whole multif switch to solve the noise but this is the part that should do it - for free so let all know how it works out.

My blazer's brake lights have failed but the top mount still works. Called my local dealership and they said was no recall on this. Can you give me some more specifics on the recall that you are speaking of.

Its the flasher switch on top of the steering column and mine was replaced on a recall - run the VIN # and it will come up on their computer - if not ask for the service manager. Lazy guys sounds like.

a few months ago the power door locks just stopped working. also the keyless entry no longer works when i disarm the car alarm. when i press the lock or unlock button on the door, i hear a clicking coming from inside the glovebox from the relays. could that be where my problem is? whats the fix for this?
thanks,
joel

I have an 01 blazer 4.3 vortec and Im having trouble I think with the feul system. When I would pull up to a stop light sat there longer than 5 min. it will cut off on me and it and now its shutting off while im driving down the road. I have no problem starting it backup though. Fuel pump or possibly injectors?

Had the exact same problem on 98 Blazer. Issue was the turn signal switch mechanism. Unfortunately part was $250 & $250 labor to install since steering column has to be disassembled to install it. Only 80k on vehicle at the time. Low grade parts appears to be the real issue ....
