1997 Chevrolet Blazer - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Usually 2 but all depends on make model year of vehicle

Does it have a automatic or manuel trans? You said gears, manuel trans, possible shift fork, syncro, anyway you will need some serious work done to it....rebuild it or replace it.....

Get a Haynes or Chiltons Manual for diagrams and instructions for your vehicle.

No switch in door?

If you are just changing the fluid and filter, it should be around 5 quarts. The entire transmission holds about 12 - 15 quarts counting the torque converter. It should tell you the actual amount depending on which trams you have in the owners manual.

Sounds like water/debris in the gas tank. Try adding dry gas to the tank. Changing the fuel filter also a good idea.

There may be a problem with the fuel pump itself or the truck may need a basic tune-up. Those would be the first two things to check. Pull a spark plug and see how it looks. If it is in really bad shape, it won't be able to fire properly and this will lead to hard starting. A set of plugs and plug wires can really wake up an older engine. The second thing to check if those are ok would be the fuel pump itself. It may be weak and take longer to build proper fuel pressure. This will have to be checked by a mechanic. The fuel pressure is very high and there are special tools that will be needed.

An engine needs 3 things to run fuel, spark, and air, but they must occur at the proper time, that being said, buy, or borrow a noid light. This is a light that you can plug into the injector to see if it is getting the pulse from the computer, do not use a test light, you will fry the computer for sure. If the injector pulse is there you have to check the timing to be sure the timing chain has not jumped. Bring the number one cylinder up on top dead center of the compression stroke, then pull the distributor cap off and make sure the rotor is pointing at the place on the cap where the number one wire is hooked on. If it is the timing is good, if not it is possible that the timing chain has jumped or someone has installed the spark plug wires incorrectly.

BELIEVE UNDER HOOD ON DRIVER SIDE MY 06 IS THERE SO COULD BE

Replace the brake light switch. It's in contact with the brake pedal arm under the dash.

Im sorry to say if your reverse band broke the only thing to do tear it down and fix the reverse band .If it is low miles you can just fix that .If it has alot of miles then I would replace are rebuild.Make sure CHECK YOUR FLUID!!!!!!.It would be nice if that was the only thing Ihope I helped you some .

You have to go back to the route cause & timeframe of the problemDid you check voltage & ground at each lamp connector,when they first got dim & you started to resolve things?Why converter to a different bulb?I don't know the current draw of the oe vs: the H4,butthat has to be consideredObviously the alternator output would be up there at thesame time your checking lamp connector voltage.Problem--Voltage Drop somewhere or too much resistancesomewhere,basic OHM's Law

When the truck wont start, bang on fuel tank to shake the pump. If it starts, replace fuel pump. 60 psi is what you should see with good pump. Less than 55 it wont start.

Is the battery / charge light lit on the instrument cluster ? Did you have the charging system tested , they'll do that for free at auto parts store ! Do you have battery voltage at the bigger wire at the back of the alternator ? This wire supply's the current to charge the battery ! The smaller wire in the connector supply's voltage to turn the alternator on. Your running down your battery that's why it shuts down . It's not the key switch . If no battery voltage on the bigger wire ,check fusible link at the battery ! all so check gauges fuse in the instrument fuse block it is a 10amp fuse . Do you have the battery symbol light , light up when you turn the key on ?

Could be the light switch, Or most likely the turn signal switch. All the exterior lights run threw the TS switch.

Probably not. These have two different units to lock and unlock 4wd. One locks the front diff, while the other locks the transfer case.

Adjust linkage under car.

It's not so much about where you live for the amount of tint possible,but the most tint allowed in other locations.
You may travel and may run into problems elsewhere with the level of tint.

Rear windows can be fully tinted.....right up to total blockage of light.
Front tint is another story.
You must be able to see the driver EASILY from a distance.
.......and the driver must be able to see out of the rear view side mirrors AT NIGHT.

use a continuity tester to check the wiring from the switch to the brake lights

in most cases the stop + tail lights are on the fuse circut .
as for the location of the fuse box i don't know what or where the fuses
you found are some fuses are found under the hood on top of the left fender well but rarely any light fuses your best bet is the owners manual
if not check the drivers side kick panel if its behind there it will be marked if not the lower dash may have removeable panel about 4"wide
also marked or the firewall with a black plastic cover or under the dash
facing down with or without cover
