Ten problems related to exterior lighting have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I pulled into my garage and shut my truck off but my doors wouldn't unlock. Then it started making funny ticking sounds and all my lights inside started flicking and my windows all rolled up and wouldn't go back down so I could get out. After about 20 minutes or so I turned it back on and was finally able to get my door unlocked to get out. Now when I touch anything my other windows go up and my seat starts to move on its own. My driver's window is stuck up and won't come back down. I have 5 kids and can not chance something happening and us not being able to get out safely.

Since I've owned this vehicle "new", I've replaced the drive lights three times for burned cables also, the passenger side seatbelts locks while in motion. My local dealer informed me that, that was typical of the passenger safety device. . . . . As a passenger, once you set down and put the seatbelt on, it locks, holding you too tight, and virtually choking the passenger!! all other seatbelts works fine. And still functions the same to this day.
The dash lights and gauges all go out intermittently .
Low beam headlamp sockets have had to be replaced at least 4 times on 1 side and at least 1 time on other side due to melting. Parts store has the socket highlighted in their parts catalog because they get so many requests for this part. Same problem: melted sockets.
The taillights are delayed when needing to turn on. If you apply the brake, blinker or place vehicle in reverse, the lights will not come on until a few seconds have passed. Also condensation builds up on the inside lens. It happens ever time I drive or use the vehicle. A previous recall on the taillights did not cover the delay or condensation according to the dealer and gm. So far I have not taken any corrective steps, I am going to try replacing the assembly and hope that resolves it. The light is not cracked or damaged in any way, and vehicle has never been in an accident.
Chevrolet dealer began recall repairs but gm filed bankruptcy and dealer refused to repair citing inability to get paid by gm for recall, returning the vehicle to me unrepaired. Next dealer said records showed repairs were completed. They were not.
