???? S10 pickup or blazer???????? 4engines used, and not told and fuse boxes not the same no VIN tool or RPO build list told. TILT wheel or not/? buy the book service manual for both years, and figure it out. what was wrong on the 1983 column? you think cruise is going to work that old, not me, nor is it safe. fixing the brake lamps should be easy my guess is you did not wreck the stop switch you messed up the old crazy HAZARD,switch wiring , very odd then and any one would be confused seeing it. the books shows 82/83 wired the same here. cruise I have no docments those years. rare to work now, extreme rare. if you step on the brake and the wire wire WHT goes hot, then the switch is working and HAZ , switch is bad, as most are that old. the wile oddity here is how haz/brake/turn bulbs are all shared. there is no discrete brake bulb or elements there. saving money on bulbs but complex switch above. now comes my trick hamper the haz and turns levers. on and off the silly switch likes to stick 1/2 way and fail so cycling them. say 5 times each. the rust is cleared away and the contacts wake up. not many 40 year switches work or work reliable now. buy new switch I would.. the switch is here. new https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1983,s10+pickup,1.9l+119cid+l4,1060625,electrical-switch+&+relay,turn+signal+switch,4832

should be in the relay box in the engine bay, but how do you now the relay is bad? if it clicks follow the sound

autozone has a $20 haynes owners manual. it will have all the locations and how-to's.

you may want to check the fuse box. fuses blow more often than relays go bad.

Maybe it is in indicator for your brakes. First thing is check the fluid in the master cylinder. That would be in the engine compartment

could be a broken timing chain which will cause it to lock up other than that check the oil level

You need to be a little more specific, if you put your info into the search engine (ie: Google) you should be able to find it. Here is a place that has a few you can check out though. http://www.justautorepair.com/multimedia/category/1-belts-diagrams

Its not that hard. The hardest part is getting to the small wires on top of the starter. Just take your time.

The main problem is that you have attempted to repair that 2.8. The new plugs and wires are worth more than the engine. That being said, it is a timing issue. Find someone with an old-school timing light and adjust from there.

hydraulic

I got the same problem it's the brake light switch located behind the brake pedal you have to get down there with a bright light and look right behind the brake pedal there's a small relay like switch so when you press on the brakes it pushes in and makes the connection press on the switch why somebody watch's the brake lights Mabry spray electrical cleaner on it I got mine working like that

Usually on fuse panel under dash or look for a white one.

Register for free at autozone.com. You can list your vehicle-or as many as you want-just make, model, year, and engine size-and then you can see repair guides specific to the vehicle you have listed. They should show the procedure for removing the timing chain cover. A lot of their procedures look like they were copied from a Chilton repair manual.

if this is a manual check the rears engine mount/ engine mounts as engine gear box movement may be pulling it out of gear.

The fuel filter in a carburated 1983 chevy S-10 is located inside the fuel inlet nut at the base of the carburator (closest to the firewall).

Do you have power from the key switch to the coil ?
