How do you change the brake light on a 2004 Cheverolet Trailblazer?

Question

My left brake light is out and I don't want to pay someone labor for something that I could probably do myself because I'm willing to learn. It's messy work but it saves money. :)

Answer 1

there are two Phillips screw in the rear hatch door jamb, remove those and the light assembly will come out. Then you have to remove three or for small Phillips screws that hold the circuit board to the lenses. pull the board out and your light bulb will pop out of the socket with a firm pull. Make sure you use die-electric grease on the bulb where it goes into the socket as that style of bulb is known to have a poor connection over time and may cause excessive heat at the socket witch will melt the circuit board part. You may also want to check with your dealer as there have been recalls on the trailblazer rear tail lamp circuit boards. They will also replace the bulb for you if it is still under warranty, or still close to being under warranty

Answer 2

2004 Trailblazer Tail Light

Answer 3

my mom has a 2003 and they had a recall to fix all the brake lights on the trailblazers, but her light still went out a month later, maybe go to the dealer and ask about the recall it was a while ago through/

Answer 4

Raise the back door and there should be screws where the cover meets the SUV. Remove them and take off the cover, then just take out the bulb, replace it, and put the cover back on (with screws)

Answer 5

original warranty is 3 years or 36000 miles so it may still be under warranty, also call a dealer to see if your t-blazer is under a recall for the tail-lamp circuit boards

Answer 6

Trade it in for a Toyota RAV-4.
