[Shop-talk] Working on a "modern" car, 2004 Chevy Blazer

[Ronnie Day]

Mark, other than the usual traditional suspects I'd check Google and
YouTube. I'll bet you could find instructions for brain surgery on YouTube!

I've also found the Haynes on-line to be useful, sometimes. I have lifetime
Haynes subscriptions for our '02 Suburban and '07 Accord, but by the time
we bought our '98 F-150 they'd gone to annual only, which ticked me off
somewhat.

I'm guessing you have a code reader. Does it offer any information?
