Two problems related to dash wiring have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Dash Wiring problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2006

The multi function switch located on the driver's side under the dash is problematic. The failure of the switch results in the rapid clicking noise that can be heard from behind the glove box on the passenger side. This is such a common problem I can not believe there is not a recall. This is the second gm of this model that my family has owned with the same problem.
