Trailblazer

  • 70,000 miles
I was stopped for my tail light being out. The next day, I replaced all of the fuses in the rear of my Trailblazer. Everything seemed to work, but then two weeks later I was stopped again for my tail lights not working. I replaced all the fuses, even though it was on one side (passenger side) then checked the circuit board, still the top tail light will not work. Found out that it does not work, when head lights are on..that is why I was getting pulled over at night. Only one tail light is not working and I can not drive at night because I keep getting pulled over because of this defect. It comes out of the blue. I have noticed that my right blinker sometimes blinks really fast. Also, over the past month I have experienced a total power failure in my Trailblazer. Nothing will work...its like the car was unplugged...totally out and will not turn over, no lights, radio and power to ignition...sometimes I can not remove my key or change into neutral....completely drained of all power...where I need a jump, then it works fine, but the tail light is still out when my head lights are on. I am afraid of having a total power failure when driving, especially since my tail lights will not work the head lights are on.
