    NEED HELP Headlights won't turn off in auto mode when doors are locked with fob

    I'm lost on all the acronyms- I'm not familiar with BCM, DRL, DIC. The car has got an automatic setting on the headlights where they go on when it gets dark enough. When you leave the car and lock it with the remote key fob, the car chirps and then the headlights normally stay on for a short...

    NEED HELP Headlights won't turn off in auto mode when doors are locked with fob

    On my 2005 T'blazer, the automatic headlights no longer turn off when locks and alarm is set in auto mode. I remove the #46 relay in the under hood fuse box and the headlights go off but the parking lights stay on with the switch in auto. Put the relay back in and the headlights come right back...

    Airbag light is driving me nuts - common problems?

    Wouldn't you know, I can't find the paper with the codes written on it. I remember they corresponded to driver seat sensor and steering wheel airbag. Car has never had the bags deployed, so the steering wheel bag code is puzzling. I guess I'll try to clean the contacts on the seat sensor...

    Airbag light is driving me nuts - common problems?

    The airbag light is on. In searching, there seems to be no common direction for what causes this. Is there something that seems to be common in these cars to cause this? It's a 2005 Trailblazer 6 cylinder 4 wheel drive. I seem some allude to connectors under the seats? Do I need to remove the...

    Water sloshing sound in rear of 05 Trailblazer

    I did a search on this and can't find anything on it. When I turn or stop my Trailblazer, in the back I can hear a fairly large amount of water sloshing around. I can't tell if it's under the back seat or in the rear cargo area. I lifted the rear seats and I also checked the storage well in the...

    Please help me diagnose this apparent retained power issue

    Ha! My bad, as I did two radios at once in two separate cars. The old Benz I did had essentially a plastic terminal block, which led me to believe what could possibly happen to that. I remembered now that the T'Blazer actually had a complicated interface with circuitry and stuff, so that can...

    Please help me diagnose this apparent retained power issue

    The radio was installed about a year ago and there has been no problems since. It's a plug and play, no splicing involved. Can the adapter go bad? There's no moving parts, it's just a plastic piece with some brass terminals and wires inserted into it.

    Please help me diagnose this apparent retained power issue

    My vehicle is a 2005 Trailblazer with a six cylinder engine. All has been well until yesterday. I awoke to a dead battery. I charged the battery and started trying to figure out what it could be that killed it. Now having power, I noticed immediately that the radio no longer powered off when I...

    P0014, B0055 codes, check engine light come on and goes off. What to do?

    My 05 Trailblazer (4WD, non EXT, 6 syl) runs fine. However yesterday, the check engine light came on for about 2 hours, then went off on its own. Today t came on once again. I took it to the local parts store, and the hooked up the code reader. They came up with two codes. The first was B0055...

    Fan clutch / Air Conditioning problem, need help with diagnosis

    The refrigerant level seems to be fine. Strangely enough, I don't see any wires going to the fan clutch. I don't have it apart yet, maybe they go to a part I can't see? I'm guessing that the wire enters the fan cutch at the very center of the front?

    Fan clutch / Air Conditioning problem, need help with diagnosis

    OK, here's the deal. The car is a 2005 Trailblazer with a 6 cylinder. I had posted before, the problem with the car is that the air conditioner is cold when driving, goes warm and humid when stopped at a light or stop sign. As soon as I start driving, it gets cold again. I had checked for a...

    A/C blows ice cold when driving, warm when car is stopped

    The A/C in my 2005 6 cyl Trailblazer with manual A/C control blows really cold when I am driving the car, but as soon as I stop at a light or something, it gets warm and muggy air. I thought that maybe the condenser fan was inop, causing no airflow over the condenser, but in looking, I don't...

    Engine sputters, stumbles and misses when hot, hard to start hot, runs great cold

    I forget which they were, they were the exact same as originally installed in the car. My old ones went over 100,000 miles!

    Engine sputters, stumbles and misses when hot, hard to start hot, runs great cold

    No access to either. Anyone have any ideas what sensor may cause this? Rather than drop large coin at the dealer, it's far cheaper to replace sensors one at a time until I hit the right one. They're usually not terribly expensive.

    Engine sputters, stumbles and misses when hot, hard to start hot, runs great cold

    My TB is a 2005 4x4 Trailblazer with a Vortec 4.2L six. It's got about 110K miles on it. The engine sputters, stumbles and misses when hot, and it's a bit hard to start hot, however it runs great when the engine is cold. The problem is most pronounced when accelerating away from a stop. It'll...
