Thanks for any response,

Replacing a bulb or the entire light housing lens assemblies are very easy.
1) Raise up the back end tailgate door.
2) Once the gate is open and your looking at the tail light lens you'll see two
screws that hold the housing(s) to the body fender. Remove the two screws to simply detach the housing from the car. As you detach and pull the housing away from the vehicle you'll notice that the housing is tethered to the car via a cable with a plug on the end. Detach the plug from the housing. Now your light assembly lens assembly is free from the vehicle.
3) Notice the pins on the back of the lens housing where you detached the cable.
That entire assembly is held in place by 4 small screws. If your just replacing burned out light(s) you'll need to remove those screws and take that piece off the back of the housing to get access to the lights for removal. The bulbs are in individual sockets. Simply pull them out and replace.
4) If you decide to replace the entire housing with a new one, which I highly recommend, the new housing will come with new bulbs.
Hope this helps your situation.
Please can you give me some points to check to repair a fan problem
when I push the fan's arrow to use the fan, the lights move but the fan don't !
I tried to search in the forum but I'm not sure that they speak about the same problem.
some talking about burning pieces, others about corrosion
thanks for your help !
for find the resistor ( trial blazer 2002 cj2 )
between the floor and the glove box you have a panel
( two screws to remove ( 7mm )) behind you will find two things
the resistor and the motor
check the motor first... remove 3 screws ( 5.5 mm )
and with cables directly to a 12 v battery
if the motor don't turn it is dead
after, check if you have power out of resistor ( with a light tester, start the car and push the blowers buttons, the light may be burn too ) mine was ok.
here you see the panel ( in small ) the resistor ( my model ) and at the right top of the photo you have a part of the case of the motor ( 3 screws 5.5 mm )
I opened the motor and surprise ! many black dust and a bit of rust
the little room where the spring extend was dirty ( 1 ) , I cleaned and slided the carbon many times,
probably, it was why only one carbon was touching the center ( # 2 piece )
I rebuilded the motor ( a bit difficult to put the carbons at the goods places )
and tested directly on a battery ! the motor is still running !
Thanks,
Dan
Did you ever get the 4wd repaired? I have a friend who's having the same problem. I suspect it's the actuator but I don't want to spend $100. (part only) on a guess.
Please let me know how/if you resolved it.
Thanks
To respond to your question about my radio not working.. That only happened to me once, the chimes sometime work/sometimes not. I do not have the BOSE stereo. Mine has the regular factory radio with cd/cassette combo.
Just had the front brakes/rotors replaced and the back ones sanded/pads replaced at the chevy dealership on my 04 Trailblazer. A new noise is coming from the car every time the wheels turn. Like something is grinding - sounds almost like a bird chirping(I now....That's scary). Went back on Friday - they visually inspected the brakes and everything looked find - Told me to drive it a couple of days and if it doens't go away - call. the noise is driving me crazy and people are looking at me on the highway(stuck in traffic) like I'm crazy.I have an appointment tomorrow - What could be wrong?
Thanks,
Stankie

Good luck.

But what's up with the paint on the steering wheel and radio buttons wearing off?! Every trailblazer, envoy, and bravada we've looked at from that year (and other years I think) have the same problem. What happened? Is there a fix or a recall on that? It looks so annoying!
Thanks.
Anyone else have an opinion?
Don't break that tailgate glass however, someone broke ours and the bill to the insurance company was over $2,000 to replace it, and only about $100 was labor.
ive looked for other problems similar to this one...
and everyone says they get a whining sound. but... the grinding sound and the air releasing is exactly how i would have explained it.
did you fix it by any chance??
my dad thinks i need to get a new muffler.. but i dont know if thats gonna help
but it is coming from the back.. back right...

It's best to keep the discussion right here. To do otherwise deprives other members of valuable information and tends to defeat the purpose of a Forum.
