Question
Robert, I have a 2003 trailblazer and the radio went dead. the lights still illuminate and the clock on the display still work but radio will not work or power up. Also the dashboard lights went out but do come on very ocassionally then go out again. Any help is appreciated. Have a great day. Tom

Answer
Hi Tom... well when it comes to under the dash electronics i am just a test and try guy...start with the radio circut...see if it is live to the radio...if fuse is good and you have power and ground at the radio chances are the radio is kaput, check to see if the dash lights are on the same circut...if not i would check the dimmer control for the dash lights...they are usually what goes when you have an intermittent light problem...hope this helps
