I had the same problem with my 89 S-10. I just inserted the key and then very carefully grasped it with a pair of pliers and slowly turned it to the left. This opened the window. Then, still using the pliers, I turned the key to the right until I heard two clicks and then pulled the tail gate open. I was then able to replace the whole locking device with a new one.
how to open the rear window on a 1997 chevy blazer.
I have a 96 Chevy Blazer S-10 and the latch to open the window in the back hatch will not work. How do I replace the motor?? or whatever to repair?
The "wing" that is over the rear hatch is to help keep the rear window clean.
use the handle....
see related link i have a 94 s10 blazer and if you use your key with the back hatch handle you can open it
thers a panel in the front underneth that says oil filter hatch 99'blazer lt 4wd
The relay is attached to the bracket that holds the wiper motor to the hatch.
I had the same problem. You blew a Interior light fuse! Its on the same circuit!I had doors open for a long time to clean interior, and next day, back hatch button would not open upper window!!! Richard Los Fresnos Tx
If the locks and rear window hatch on a 1998 Chevy Blazer lock and unlock by themselves, there is probably a problem with the fuse or a short somewhere. The locks are supposed to lock when the vehicle gets put in gear. Perhaps the system that tells the locks when to lock is not working properly.
The blazer must be in park for the rear hatch button to work. If you have the blazer in drive the button will not open the hatch unless it is in park!!! If there is still a problem maybe try checking the fuses! The actuator could be broken in the rear that releases the window so you can open the back. This happened to my 2003 Blazer and my neighbor's 2002 Blazer. By removing the back panel (high likelyhood the panel will break when you remove it) and replacing the actuator that could solve your problem. Both I and my neighbor would have had to order the whole actuator in order to replace the tiny plastic piece that broke. Instead we drilled a whole and rigged it with some tough wire. Works now but we both have broken back panels...even the dealership broke one. Good luck. SEE RELATED LINK for 1997 Blazer
There are 2, 4" x 10" speakers in the celing tward the rear of the full size blazer (next to the hatch glass).
The Blazer was discontinued from production after the 2005 model year, and was replaced by the TrailBlazer. That being said, you have a short to ground somewhere in the circuit.
