hey TCGrove, yea i still have my blazer, but am getting awful close to getting rid of it. it is in the nickel and dime'ing me phase. it is hard to keep up with it anymore. with the winter months coming on, i am not wanting to have to be dealing with things like this either. i am to old for this stuff now. i hope yours is treating you better than mine is me !!! LOL

anyways, in response to your post, [thanks for it by the way], the battery took a dump on me in the middle of dealing with the window motor. so i had the battery out of it all night, charging up. i went the next day and put a new battery in it. the fuel guage was messed up at this time. i will unhook the battery again, and hope, and cross my fingers too, to see if it might reset the fuel guage.

in response to the switch connections, they are all tightly connected, and there were no visible signs of any corrosion on the wire connectors, or the bottom side of the switch panel. i did check the fuses too. one thing i think i need to do now, is to check the switches with my little curcit testing light to see if power is going through the switch.

the thing that is bothering me, is the wires that got there insulation wore off while i was drilling the rivets out. i don't think that the key was on, or in the ignition. but i could be wrong. now if i am wrong, and the key was by chance turned on, with the drill chuck turning, and wearing on those wires, could it have shorted them out and damaged these things ?? i will check the switches to see if they are working, and unhook the battery too, and post back later.

thanks
ron
