#10 of 12 2001 Blazer dash lights gone crazy..won't start by traiford Feb 26, 2008 (5:07 pm)
Just bought a 2001 Blazer from my boss. Stopped at store , then it wouldn't start. Finally got it jumped and as I was driving the dash lights and guages were going crazy. Every dash lights turning on, flashing, fuel, speedo, and tach would drop out and then come back . Took it to Autozone and they said alt. diodes were bad. Put on new alternator ...same thing. At idle everthing seems fine. Once I accelerate the dash goes crazy. Here is the really stange thing...I put it in drive...stand on brake and rev the engine to 2K rpms and no problems...its only when it accelerates with movement. FYI the battery still won't charge. Please HELP!! Replies to this message: jmoz83 (Apr 30, 2008 3:34 am) jlflemmons (Apr 30, 2008 10:52 am)
