2003 Blazer 4x4, 55,000 miles
For the last few weeks my radio as been switching stations at will on the 2nd set of pre-sets.
Last Friday night: On my way home, I lost my odemeter and gear display as well as my day running lights and radio. I didn''t think anything of it, I know very little about cars so I figured it was a fuse of some sort.
Last Sat. morning: I get up and do the normal routine, coffee and paper. Still have the same problem, but Blazer still runs. Drive 20 odd miles to an outing and on my way home on the highway and the gas starts giving out, no accl., wants to die. It dies. I pull over and can''t get it started up again. 24 hr. roadside truck happens to pass by and asks what''s wrong. Tell him what''s up and he asks if I have gas. That''s fine, plenty in the tank like normal. He tries to start it and says more than likely it''s the alt., have it towed. I do so.
A mechanic friend is stumped, but he''s also a Ford mechanic.
We try to have the alt. and batt. tested at the nearest auto parts shop. Tests show alt. is good, batt. has bad cells, so I have that replaced and reinstall both items. Still same problem.
We did relize that when I turn the key back, I get the radio back but no displays. When I turn the key forward for the accessories, I get my displays but the radio is out. When I try to start it, it tries to start but it''s like it''s not getting enough gas, like it''s not giving it to the ingine.
Some people think it''s a relay of some sort, some people think it might be the computer. I figured out I can bring it to Napa and have it replaced cheaper there than anywhere else, but it''s still a pricy maybe, anyone have any idea''s? Please?
