Thanx LT - we finally got the AC running last night - I called Autozone (where we got the rebuilt Compressor) and talked with the guy - told him everything had been replaced that could be replaced and I was thinking the rebuilt compressor was bad... He told me to bring it in and they'd exchange it - when I got there he went over a number of things with me - one of which was the fan clutch - I remembered that the fan was VERY easy to turn (both directions) and he suggested replacing it (that even if it wasn't the problem now - it would cause problems for me later...) So, I took the "new" compressor and the fan clutch - installed both and the difference was like night and day!!! - I'm not sure which was the problem - but it's working and that's whats important...
I bought the Blazer in November and it started giving me problems within 4 months - First it was electrical - the entire system would die while driving - then come back on before coasting to a stop - I took it to the Chevy Dealership - they kept it overnight then told me the fuel pump was the problem - they wanted $1600 to drop the tank - put in a fuel pump and clean the injectors - I couldn't afford that so took it home and asked a friend to take a look at it (it was still running)
We took it on the freeway and it cut out totally - came to a stop and wouldn't do anything - he had me pop the hood - grabbed the battery terminal and twisted it and power came back on - I started it - we drove back home - tightened the terminal and it ran fine for 3-4 months.
Then about a month ago I got on the freeway and it wouldn't go into high gear - not only that - it wouldn't go into low gear either - took it to AAMCO - they kept it overnight then called and wanted to rebuild the transmission and put in a new torque converter - They wanted $2000 for the job - (which I couldn't afford) so I brought it back home and started checking the forum - saw where the ignition switch problem might be what was causing it - so $88 later - it's working fine... (until last week when the AC went bad)
I figure that if I'd done what the shops wanted - it would have cost me more than $3,000 - and NOTHING would have been fixed!!!
You can imagine how happy I am about having the forum available!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
