If the door seems to be unable to close, look at the edge of the door to see if the latch striker has closed and is covering the slot where the door latch pin is supposed to seat. If the striker is covering the slot, simply pull on the door handle as if you were opening the door, and while holding the handle out, flip the striker bar out the way with your finger or a screwdriver. This happens occasionally on GM vehicles and is not a problem if you know how to fix it.

The driver side door on my 2002 chevy blazer wont close.how do i fix it?

Door pins are a common failure on that series of Blazer/S10's. Also, another point of contention that the door faces is a sticky latch. Basically, the door latch re-latches itself and when you shut the door into the catch, it slams into it and bounces off. An easy fix is a 3 part cocktail of brake parts cleaner. Open and shut the latch with a screw driver acting as the catch and your interior door handle a few times. P'Blaster, open and shut the door a few times with the screwdriver acting as the catch. Finally, a good shot of white lithium grease. Open and shut the door with a screwdriver as the catch several times. Once you feel it is un-stuck, actually close and open the door several times. If you notice the door rising every time it catches, you MUST replace the door pins (cheap fix). If the door still has issues, replace the door latch (and since you're in there, do some PM and replace the actuator as well).

I have a 2002 chevy blazer that the driver side door won't close all the way but it's NOT the latch inside the door, the door seems to be lower than the latch.

Sounds like your door hinges are worn. Pin and bushing kits are available at parts stores, and with a little patience are not awful to install. Installing a pair of these should restore the door to the original height, and allow the door to close properly.

My power hatch release wont open so i cant get my tailgate open

I have the same problem, when I took the door apart I found that there is a plastic extension on the end of cyclinder that moves in and out on that electric motor you hear. Well the plastic extension is broken off and that is what moves the lever to open your window latch. I tryed Krazy Glue with JB weld to fix the plastic piece but the first release of the window it just broke off again so I'll have to order a new one. You can't just order the plastic extension according to Chevy you have to order the motor aswell about $80.00 CAD.
To get the door apart yourself, I just pulled out on the plastic trim on top enough to get a long narrow screw driver down there and you will see a brass like lever in the shape of a L , you want to push that to the left to release the window latch, and then you can unscrew the plastic trim properly and go from there.

Chevy Blazer door wont close....

Not sore if you have the answer or not. Here it is. MANUALLY place interior door lock latch in the UNLOCK position. Now LIFT UP outside door handle as if opening. While holding it up with your finger ( no prying ) lift up closed latch. Now you should be able to close your door normally.
