Re: 97 Blazer no hazzards or brake lights [ccbecke]
by jlflemmons on Mon Dec 01 21:05:15 PST 2008
calm down, fellas. Lots of us were travelling. Okay, lets break this down. Wipers won't turn off, turn signal issue. Probably a bad multifunction switch there on the column. There have also been issues with wipers in the past where the solder joint of the connector on the circuit board of the wiper motor assembly cracks. You unplug the harness, remove the cover, and check the connector for cracked joints. Clean, resolder, reassemble. Don't need to replace the board, it will work when resoldered. Done lots of these. Dome lights. Does anything turn them on? Any door, or the switch on the instrument panel? The 2WD/4WD issue can be a bad solenoid at the transfer case, or a bad vacuum line. Others with 4WD have seen this issue, try searching for it. Hazard and brake lights are on the same circuit, at least partially. Both go through the flasher unit behind the dash, and guess what, they also go through that little multifunction switch mentioned earlier. So, it sounds like most of your problems are related to the servo engagement circuit for the 4WD, and the multifunction switch in the steering column. There is a detailed procedure on changing the switch on the previous page. Hope that helps.

Lew, I'm not sure why you're holding for a new one if you're concerned about the price difference. You should already know that the value of the car will drop like a brick once you drive it off the lot even with an increased incentive. A used TX is a year older or a little longer depending on service and I think they are an absolute bargain depending on where you look at. What exactly draws you to the "new" car over a "used" car? How much value is it to you to be the original owner of a TX? Only you can decide, so good luck. On another note, a friend of mine told me that a completely loaded Limited AWD w/ 7K miles at a Ford auction was listed at $21K. By completely loaded, he meant every option available on the Limited including navigation, dvd, power liftgate, etc. Hope that helps anyone.

HI all - Lew here again.... So I haven't bought a car yet. Here is why... I can't help but think that Ford will come out with excellent end of the year incentives in the next month to clear TX at the end of 2008. Does anyone have an idea if this will happen or if I should just take the best deal out there on a used low milage one like those I listed above. I just don't want to buy now and be sorry in three weeks if Ford starts giving them away. Any guesses or advise would be appreciated. I would really like a new Limited Loaded but cannot justify the price difference between the low mileage used TXs. :blush:

'46 straight eight then practiced shifting on quarter, three quarter, and a deuce and a half courtesy of the military, but not trained as a trucker. Thinking about that unlimited jk again - a lot different than the goosey jeep over there.

Bryon, When Buster and I drive our 07 Sport AT, we average over 40 mph on the highway and around 31 in the city. When our 2 granddaughters drive the car for any length of time, mileage drops to around 22 mph. That tells us something!! Regards, Bubba :shades:
Winter Trip to Texas

Along I-10 and I-20 from Phoenix to Abilene TX, prices varied widely. Saw as high as $2.29 and as low as $1.66. Diesel was as low as $2.29 at one truck stop, and RUG was $1.95 at the same place - only a 34 cent difference. I already saw one poster say, "I wish I still had my Tahoe." That's not the way we ought to be thinking, people !!!
