This question is for the people with newer blazers.Does your abs light come on or have you had problems with it.

Problems??
Not sure.....the ABS light in my 92 truck has actually started blinking (at a variable rate) lately but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the rear brakes.

PS: this means one of two things 1: my truck's computer doesn't use a 555 based timer for blinking and that means it's unique.....call Barret Jackson!
2: there's a short somewhere.

If I remember right the light comes on three different ways for different conditions, One for low fluid, 1 for a problem with the ABS electrical and I forgot what the other is. I personally would run by AutoZone or similar and get them to read the codes to see if it is something you need to worry about. I do not like taking chances on brakes. My 96 had a computer malfunction and which zapped the ABS model and left me without brakes.

Thanks Bill,
I will look into pulling any codes set by the ABS system. I tend to think it is just a short though as the ABS light has always been on......very dim but on.
Nice site you have there on your 1970. I learned to drive in a 1969 just like yours (except the one I learned to drive in had fewer options than yours does!)
