I have a 1996 4wd Blazer LS, 4door, 6cyl., When i start it, it doesn't quite turn over for a couple of times, cold or hot oustide, I turn the key and it sorta starts, doesn't do anything, then sorta tries, then it goes, really wierd, and, I think its the brakes or something, but when im driving along back and forth it makes squeeky noises neer the wheels, and a lil wierder when i press on the breaks, and my blinker sticks sometimes, So, What is wrong and how much money am I looking at here?

you mean doesn't want to crank until the worn out brushes in your starter get hot enough to bridge the slight air gap created from years of cranking?..............hmmm.........test for starter amperage draw............or.......replace the starter.........next,...brake systems are inherently noisy......usually due to polished rotors,drums.the wear sensor tab on the disc pads is designed to squeak/squeal while driving but should quiet when brakes are applied........but since your vehicle is 10 + years old....you probably need a brake job! don't procrastinate,stoping is more important than going.......finally ....if your indicator sticks only sometimes......meaning intermittently.....have your signal switch checked.................how much money?...depends on where you go,& how much you can do yourself..........dealer maybe $600.00 & up.......local shop maybe $400.00 to $ 600.00 you could save a lot if you could repair your own!

Ok lets start with the easy one. The squeaking is what is called a small piece of metal on the brake pad that allows you to know your breaks are going bad. Brake pad, if you haven't hurt your rotators, should only be about $90-$100, but it can go up a lot if you have to the rotators.
The starting sounds like the cylnode is going bad and you should probably have it checked. They can range in price and how much it should cost to install but it shouldn't be more than $150.
The blinker could be a sticky handle or or wiring issue. No idea what it would cost. Hope this helps.

sounds like u need a good tune up on your blazer or your timing chain is about to go out but on the sqeaking noise coming from the wheels is most likely the brakes so u could be looking at about $300 to $400 worth of work.

Sounds like you need to have your brakes checked along with your other issues by a QUALIFIED mechanic.
