i would untape them and put them back on the solenoid until you can change to a new solenoid....Unless you still have snow where you are and want to use 4x4.....the front axle will be locked with the 2 lines together...harder on gas.

Ok I will check that tommorow and see what it's doing , if it is still drawing vaccum could that harm anything, I was just so excited it was working again I left it taped together but will be ordering a new solenoid and thanks everyone for all the help !!!

I would like to hear some feedback on the best way to properly level the front of my blazer out ? I'm thinking maybe 1 -1.5" , I m currently running the stock 235-75-15's but would like to go up a size or 2

I would think if its locked on dry pavement long term it would wear parts faster, but I don't know if we would actually see problems unless you drove it hard.

So another update, hooked the lines back up on the solenoid and my 4wd is back operating properly , I guess the solenoid was seized up

I have seen that ....I smacked it and it worked for a few more months...My buddy had it on hand by the time it failed again...Dorman was only $58 in Canada so its probably $35 US on your end.

Default lights flashing

no intention of hijacking a thread but.... my 2004 ZR2 is acting the same way... lights blinking and no engagement of the front axle... does this year Blazer work the same as the older models?
