Several times this blazer will not start- I have had it to the dealer and was told they could not find anything wrong- this time I saw that when the blazer was running and you turned on the headlights it would die and you would have to jump it to get it started again- the interier lights would come on while driving (for no reason)- at one point the a c stopped working- the problems started a few years ago but the dealer could never find anything wrong.

Operating tilt steering causes wires in harness to bend or crimp causing wire to break and therefore loss of headlights,also shorts out other circuts in harness.could possibly cause a fire.
