Question 2000 ZR-2 blazer powerlocks.


OK 1st i have the same fuel gauge everyone else has and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. It's been wacko for a lil' over a year. What I do is just reset the trip-o-meter every 280 miles when I fill up.

Here is my current issue though...
My power locks stopped working. My truck does have the keyless option but I lost that key phob thing a long time ago. The locks can be unlocked manually from the inside pushing the lock up. Also they can be unlock with the keys from outside. Here's my kicker.
The power lock buttons dont work and niether does the rear hatch button on the dash? As of now I cant get the rear of the truck open. Figuring it was a issue tieing all three buttons ( both door lock buttons and the hatch button on the dash) togeather I checked the fuse. Its ok. Where do I go from here?

Right now I'm tired of ! any thing will help.

THANKS!

Yeah I forgot to add the fact that the power mirrors are not working either at this point.

Thanks

Re: 2000 ZR-2 blazer powerlocks.

lock switch works on the passenger doors?

Other window switches work?

Have you checked for blown fuses?

thats the liquid in the tank sloshing around going from reverse to 1st or drive, or from an incline to a level surface, no known fix.

Nah mine is more it sits on full all the time then suddenly drops to empty then back to full...

It use to do the whole sit on ful go down to half then back up thing like the others have discribed now it just sits on full with the occasional bounce to empty.

Re: 2000 ZR-2 blazer powerlocks.

if it goes from full to empty, you have a bad ground on the sending unit or the sending unit itself is shot.

Is there a way to trouble shoot this without dropping the tank?

Re: 2000 ZR-2 blazer powerlocks.

I was wondering, in a 2 door s10 blazer, where is the gas tank, ive been under the car many times, but havent seen it, is it that big black box looking thing directly under the trunk?
