I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer with over 140,000 miles on it. When the vehicle is turned off and I put my foot on the brake pedal, the following happens: the interior and exterior lights come on, the dash lights come on, the indicator lights come on, and the radio plays. In addition, my right turn signal will not blink...the left one does. (I checked the bulbs...they're o.k.) Also, my brake lights are on constantly. Hummmm??? Any suggestions???

My girlfriend's 2001 Blazer has had a problem for a few years now where it won't start right away. It turns over but won't fire. It usually does start after 5 or 6 tries. The strange part is that when you crank it over the power door locks go up and down. Any thoughts on what is going on here?

Ok so my problem is that when I turn my headlamps and gauge lights on, my stereo deck//head-unit turns off, so after re-wiring my aftermarket deck, and I checked my wiring I don't know how many times, but for some reason my horn and interior lamp doesn't work any more either, I have checked all my fuses and such but I have also asked around on a few other forums some people said my ground would be the problem, but I doubt that because the deck still turns on, and others said it could be the alternator. Anyone have an idea???? Thanks In Advance.

Yes only after i did the stereo swap did this problem persist, I don't really know much about domestics as I've only owned this truck//suv, for about 2 months.

| Can't get the parking lights to shutoff. Pulled fuses 2 and 3 and they are still on. Anybody seen this before? Thanks | |

Replying to: 403jimmy (Jan 01, 2008 4:17 pm) Start by pulling the electrical connections and see if that clears the other problems. Just thought of something. I have found times when the instructions on an aftermarket stereo showed connections to wires of specific color, but they get the colors wrong. So, even though you follow the instructions exactly, it still doesn't work. You might check out the wiring diagram in the back of a Haynes (or equivalent) manual and see if the diagram matches the instructions. Jim |

Thanks Jim, I'll take a look and see what I can do, but just wondering, could it be that the Orange(Illumination)wire, and the Red(Acc)wire, are reversed for some weird reason even though I followed the intructions//put the colors properly together??
