I GOT ON THE INTERNET ,& FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2000--2002 BLAZERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM NHTSA RECALL 01V364/GM. (3) I CALLED GM AT 1-800-222-1020 GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER,THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL .BUT I SHOULD TAKE TO VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ,HAVE THE MULTI-SWITCH REPAIRED,& THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSES THEN ,THE FIRST PERSON I SPOKE WITH NEVER CALLED ME BACK AS THEY STATED THEY WOULD,I CALLED HIM BACK TWICE. AFTER NO RESPONSE I CALLED ,& SPOKE WITH ANOTHER PERSON , SHE WAS GOING TO CALL THE LOCATION I HAD THE MULTI-SWITCH REPLACED,& CALL ME BACK , HER CO-WORKER CALLED ME ,& TOLD ME SHE WAS IN A MEETING ,& I SHOULD CALL HER BACK.
