    The guy at the light did not know you were turning left. The fast blinking indicator means the front signal was not working.

      @@AutoAuctionRebuilds In the video before you pressed the dome override button the indicator was blinking fast. After when you were at the house it was normal. I will have to check mine to see if it does the same or if it is something electrical causing yours to do that. My truck just turns the Dome light off when you open the doors.

    I have a 2000 blazer 4 door 4wd I bought 5 1/2 years ago for $1,000 at a public auction. I love that truck. It breaks a lot because I don’t drive it much but man every single time I go into it after any time of not driving it, it fires right up and drives. Sure my dash is cracked, I have a couple lights on the dash, and the steering is a little loose but man I love that little suv.

    Hi Randy! Love your channel! Keep up the great work. To unlock the rear window hatch on the blazer. You have to use the ignition key to unlock it. Take the key out. Once it’s unlocked you push the button on the tailgate then the rear window should pop open. Nice ride! I owned one. Now I drive a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4x4 with only 38,000+ miles. Bought it as my graduation gift back in 2000 OBS Good luck! Safe travels!

    Those later year Blazers usually require new solenoids every time you replace the battery. That’s why your interior lights are a bit wonky.

    Randy: The Blazer doesn't need anything! *Proceeds to break the window crank less than a second later*
    In all seriousness great score Randy! Can't wait to see the Blazer get customized and definitely excited about the Town Car
