General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

about 160 for everything (including a extra set of tails to cut up) (LED's circuit boards, wires, resistors, voltage regulators, capacitors)
The 3rd brake light was only 2.50 at upull, trailer hitch was pre built as well from amazon for like 30

Solved the issue with the 4WD, was a stuck solenoid above the engine. But found a busted motor mount, driver side. Great fun in the sun. Still need to get under it and replace the pinion seal on the back axle

Ive thought about hooking up a 3rd brakelight. I guess you just tapped into one of the taillights?

Chris he ran a wire to the brake switch.. Because if you tap into the brake light wire... it will blink with the blinker.

What Gio said, I tapped into the wiper motor ground, and then ran the power wire all the way up to the brake light switch, about a half hour-45 minute job.

Finally took mine out into some trails. Rained hard here, made the trails much more fun! Got all dirty then hosed everything off. 2 GO pro cameras, one on the front of my truck and one on the back of a buddy in front of me. Cant wait to edit the video and post it up.
