Question
Two part questio- my husband is decent with cars though no mechanic, are the front brake pads on an 02 2WD Blazer something we should be able to do ourselves pending rotors are in good condition?  Also the driver power window isn't working- heard much about this?
THANKS!

HI  well as far as the front disc pads, as long as there are no trouble at all with the front rotors, and even if there was, you could just get a new pair and replace them, but wipe them off with solvent first , than just replace the new disk pads. than bleed them if need be.  as far as the window, it could be a few things, it could be that the switch is bad,  or the contacts are bad, so get some wd-40 and spray up inside of the switch for it to sit over night, that might do it, or the switch could just be bad, or the motor for the elect window could also be bad than you would have to replace it. and some of them can run into a hell of a mess, like bees in a honey nest,...
