My wife's 2006 Trailblazer is having some electrical issues. It started as a radio problem... At any given time, only some speakers work. Sometimes it's all of them, some times it's only the front tweeters. We always get some noise. Probably 95% of the time less than all of the speakers work. Sometimes it's just the right ones, sometimes just the front, etc. Always different.
About 2-3 days later we realized that only half of her dash lights up. On the climate controls, only the drivers side was lit up... passenger side was completely out. The next time we turned the truck on, all the lights worked... So the light and radio problems are intermittent.
About 4 weeks later she noticed that her passenger side backup light is out. I changed the bulb and it still doesn't work. I don't have a meter here to be able to check anything there, but I switched the bulb twice and none of them worked... pretty safe to say there is no electricity there.
The Chevy dealership says we need a new radio... really? I think all 3 of these problems are most likely related, and we've got some big problems if the radio is knocking out her backup lights. We've been to the dealership 3 times already with no luck. We're taking it back thursday.
Anyone have any ideas on what it might be? Fortunately she bought the extended warranty, and she's already paid her deductible, so cost isn't going to be an issue.
THanks!
