Let us check out the issue on this new to me 2008 Chevrolet trailblazer. I bought it from a customer who had just purchased it but decided not to go further on diagnostics and repair. Could this be just a bunch of small, easy to fix issues or will I regret buying this vehicle.

The picture in picture was helpful. Good to see you post again, especially with a cool project. Ah yes, the money shot. Breaking the wire by a tug…classic.
Sounds like a fun project.
Yes, that Nuclear Ballistic Missile Launch Code VIN search is annoying. 💩
Great to see another video from you! Thanks.
Great approach and thought process thanks for sharing.
