I OWN A 1998 BLAZER ON 10-19-O3 IT WAS HIT FROM REAR. SINCE THIS TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND EVERYTHING ON THAT SWITCC MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE NOTICED ON ONE OCASION THAT SMOKE CAME FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT.*AK

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RE-START. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SPARK. CAR HAD FUEL AND I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY EXCESSIVE FUEL SMELL SO RULED OUT FLOODED ENGINE. WAITED 20 MINUTES BUT STILL WOULD NOT START. BATTERY WAS NEARLY DRAINED AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE. SUSPECT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM (ALTERNATOR? SHORT?) BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE.
