Plug and play LED's is the problem. They are usually made really horribly. and a lot of vehicles do not like them. Sorry to say.

That is a good thing to try gitch... if that does not work, There is nothing you can do but try a different brand of LED bulbs. PNP LED's are hit and miss when it comes to quality, mostly, miss.

i got some a while ago that didn't work right, it was like running a single phase bulb. Full power when running lights are on, no difference when brakes are applied. Also they got super hot so i took them back out

Yeah the blazers use a different wiring tactic to get the side marker lights on the front to get them to flash with the signals and act as a running light as well. So even if you get the main signals working, the side markers will only act as one or the other. I can go into more detail if you want, but I doubt it.
