I have a 1996 chevy blazer 4wd 4.3l central port fuel injection. The #4 fuse which is my gauge fuse keeps blowing and when it blows my instrument cluster zeros out and I have no clue what my speed is what my rpms are what my fuel level its, etc. My alternator stops charging and my vehical eventually stalls out due to the battery draining.

Recall 99i006000 was repaired by the dealership. However, after defect was repaired brake system will lock up, and consumer will lose control of steering. *ak vehicle stalled 2 times after driven, then shut off for 15 minutes then restarted, dealer reprogrammed ECM. Front brake pads replaced, resurfaced rotors, replaced worn out brakes, during light braking during light rain, ABS kicks in. Rear tires worn on outside edges, consumer did not give any specific information regarding tires.
Engine stalls due to faulty vcm (computor module). Yh
When in 4- wheel drive mode, I turned into a drive to change direction of travel. As I backed out of the drive, the engine bogged down ands almost stalled. As I fed more gas, the engine still labored and I could feel a binding in the drive train and the steering. Not until the wheel was straightened was I able to feel the normal response and power of the vehicle. During this period of binding, it is extremely hard to steer and move the vehicle. The dealer analysis is that this is normal. It happens on dry, wet, snow and ice conditions. It should also be noted that the wheels are not on the stops when this occurs.
Intermittently vehicle stalls and dies, giving the driver no warning. Dealer has replaced the alternator/battery and fuel pump and the problem still exists.
Vehicle continually stalling.
Engine stalled five times w/out warning, on one occasion almost resulting in vehicle collision.
Engine: check engine light comes on, vehicle stalls and cuts off in the middle of the street.
Vehicle shuts down while driving continually, the dealership has been unable to solve the problem.
Loose wiring of crank sensor caused vehicle to stall.
