Default Greetings

Hello. I just picked up a 2005 Chevrolet Blazer with 76,450 miles on it. She's not perfect, but the engine and transmission are solid with no leaks. Lot's of damage from being parked in the sun here in Florida. Has constant ABS light on, check engine light, random fast-blink right turn signal, and inconsistent wiper functionality. It's a crap shoot whether the wipers will come on when you turn them on, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Anyhow, greetings to all.

Welcome! Outside looks straight! I would double check the signal bulbs for a dead one, and wipers could be the switch on the column, or maybe a failed wiper board under the hood maybe. A quick search should help, if not a quick post in the right spot will get people's attention

A better picture, and after the cleanup.

Welcome to the family! Maybe it's just a good picture, but that thing looks like it's in way better shape than your description would lead one to believe. The mileage is super low, so it looks like you have a solid foundation to do a bit of fixing up. Little electrical gremlins are pretty common on S-10s, and I doubt you'll encounter anything that somebody here hasn't already been through and can offer advice.

Have fun!

I've already utilized this forum for so much info that has helped me figure out some of the gremlins, or at least a path to resolution. Thanks for the welcome everyone.
