I guess this is a pretty extensive job as you would have to open up the steering column. Sounds expensive, maybe I'll just wire the horn up so that it works off a different circuit just to get through inspection. It doesnt really bother me to have to jump the fuse block to open my rear hatch, I just leave it open most of the time, not latched comepletely. Thanks for the info!!! :sick:
On the starter there are two wires, one to the solenoid and one large from the battery. Is there suppose to be another wire attached to the starter to transfer 12V to the rest of the car? If not where does the main juice from the battery to the chassis electrical connect? The main power block on the drivers side near the firewall has no power either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw this and found that this helped and found that the plastic blue part had indeed broken off. I decided to search for the exact part and I finally found it (with lots of work I might add since the exact part name isn't on the net anywhere).
Window Actuator Rod Retainer
DORMAN Part #42426
Tailgate
Current Price $3.79
I can't believe that my dealership wanted to replace the whole thing for $375.00!! It's dumb that Chevy would use a plastic part for something that would be used often. Anyways, I'm following all the instructions that other people have stated here and just replace the plastic Actuator Rod Retainer. Hopefully it works out!
I just read a post to NHTSA.gov where the fellow said his dealership replaced the master control switch on his 2001 blazer and that solved the problem.....does he mean turn/cruise lever?
Is there any place else to check the recall/VIN? Seem my 2000 Blazer has exactly the same problem w/the flasher or turn signal clicking. It's been happening over a few months now and I first noticed it right after a car wash when the guys wiped off the dash and steering column. The flashers were on when I got into the driver's seat. They were probably never used before and to turn them off I had to press it down (or lift up) a few times. After that the clicking started so I changed the flasher unit. Within a few days the clicking came back. I thought it had something to do with the emergency flasher. It makes the clicking only when the brake is not applied, step on the brake pedal and it goes away. At times when the brake is aplied the flasher unit will buzzz and the clicking stops altogether. Strange...so is the dealer recall fix the only sollution?

Sorry about the subject mixup but yeah, both subjects are talked about here.
Yep the flasher is just above the side kick panel below the glovebox. It plugs into a box module and there is a blue or green plastic strap around it. I had to cut the strap because there's no room to see how the strap works.
I got the flasher online from GM parts. Cheap, like under $20 with s/h.
The thing is, I probably didn't have to change the flasher. The constant clicking is probably from the emergency flasher button like repairdog is saying.
Thanks,

Could the air bag activate if I pry off the cover in the center of the steering wheel?
Any one else have a problem with the signal running on together with a non-working horn?

I will create a web page with pictures and instructions on how to do it if I am succesful. Expect that sometime August 2007 if I'm not too lazy to do so.
Thanks in advance for any comments!
