Just got my new project 1999 Chevy Blazer 4x4 2dr LS ZR2 Offroad model. Runs great! But, the front-end drive axles are missing. Plus, the interior is shot, AZ sun, plastic just crumbles. And, the plastic clip on the rear inside release handle for the tailgate(?) is broken. Can anyone help with names/websites of some suppliers?

 

Congrats on the Blazer.

I would think you could get most of the interior pieces you need from a u-pull yard up here in the Pacific Northwest.

There are often good numbers of 2nd gen Blazers in these lots. I found an almost pristine rear carpet by checking the VINs of the Blazers in the lot.

About the only part you won't find in good condition will be the defroster grill.

heated seats with the plastic in one piece are hard to come across here including the darn defrost vent, ESPECIALLY the one with the sensor!!

 

And that's available new for around 20 bucks.

 

The only problem with aftermarket defrost vents are the lack of a hole for the Automatic Headlamp Sensor. Mine works just fine sitting right underneath it but you can drill a hole and tack the sensor in with a small easily chippable bead of epoxy.

 

I don't remember what the deal was with mine, but I didn't have to drill anything. I wanna say my sensor is in the speaker grille?

Sorry, I don't have my Blazer with me to look at.

 

The sensor on the speaker is the auto lights... I wanna say the sensor in the center defrost is part of the auto climate...

 

there is a sensor of some sort in the passenger side speaker grille, my rig has C68/Automatic Climate Controls and i have 2 sensors in the cab, neither are the cabin air temp sensor as i believe that is inside the little grille next to the drivers head in the handle-well.

 

I don't have automatic temperature control, and I don't have a sensor in the defroster grille. So, the one I bought on Amazon worked perfectly for me. YMMV.

 

So the only time I have found a defrost vent with the hole, was when I found one with the auto climate, I want to say it's a sensor like on the front of the truck for the exterior temperature.

If you cover the sensor on the speaker grill during the day, your automatic lights will come on.

Edit: still searching, but found this in the service manual...


Edit ×2:
Sensor in speaker is DRL sensor
