ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE TACHOMETER STARTS TO JUMP AROUND AND THEN I LOSE THE DIRECTIONALS AND MY LIGHTS. IF I TURN OFF THE IGNITION IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT FUSE #22 IS BLOWING. AS OF TODAY, MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE EACH TIME. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE INSTUMENT CLUSTER AND THE IGNITION LOCK. I AM SEEKING LEGAL ADVISE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
SINCE JANUARY OF 2005 MY 2003 TRAIL BLAZER HAS BEEN BLOWING THE IGNITION FUSE EVERY TIME I START MY TRUCK. IT WILL TRY UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND THAN NO POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY TURN SIGNALS GO OUT, AND MY GAUGE GOES HAY WIRE. I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH MY REMOTE START, AND I HAD THAT COMPLETELY REMOVED. NOW IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHARGED ME $20 TO PUT A FUSE BACK IN WHICH I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT STARTED, BUT IT WILL BLOW AGAIN. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE FUSE BLOW THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST CAME OUT AND REPLACED THE FUSE AGAIN AND DID NOT CARE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. HE BASICALLY JUST WANTED ME TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. GUESS WHAT BEFORE I EVEN TURNED OUT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN AGAIN. WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUSE, AND IT WAS FINE. IF I WANTED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER IT WOULD COST $300. JUST TO LOOK AT MORE. I AM PRETTY MUCH AT A LOSS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILES, BUT IS ONLY A 1 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK IT WAS REALLY BAD THAT BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM , AND THEY WERE FINE WITH LETTING ME LEAVE. *AK
