Replacing driver's side panel for seat controls 2005 trailblazer

Hi there,

I've purchased a replacement cover for the driver's seat power controls (the clips broke and it was dangling) for my 2005 trailblazer. The problem I have is I do not know how to remove the controls (are they clipped on screwed on, etc) in order to remove the old cover. Any ideas/diagrams would be greatly appreciated. I certainly don't want to break the controls and have to purchase additional parts

    1 front screw on panel. Take off first round control with a flat screwdriver lift clip up and pull on the plastic by the wires. Next up it is easier to pop that round control out completely. Place a flat head screwdriver in between the black electronic and the plastic and pry. U can push in on the outside of the round control to pop it out. Now u have room to disconnect the second wires. In between the wires and the plastic there is a clip that u can press with your thumb and pull. Use a flat screwdriver to push bottom of the wiring harness to help get off. Now put the new on.

Problems WithChevy TrailBlazers
ElectricalProblems
Some of the mostcommon problems with the TrailBlazer involve the vehicle's electrical systemand accessories. Many drivers have experienced problems with the dashboardgauges, including the fuel gauge, speedometer and "check engine"warning light. Additional electrical problems include power automatic doorlocks and windows that fail to work or operate intermittently. These problemscan be difficult to diagnose as they can result from anything from a faultybattery to problems with the wiring or other electrical components.
Read more: Problems With Chevy TrailBlazers ' eHow.com A fuse contains a thin metal bridge between two terminals. When too muchelectrical current is drawn through the fuse the bridge melts, breaking thecircuit. This feature prevents damage to electrical components and limits thepossibility of a fire.The Chevrolet Blazer utilizes small fuses to protect thevehicle's wiring harness from overload. These are typically plug-in blades, notthe glass-barrel fuses used in older vehicles.
Location The fuse panel ona Chevy Blazer is located on the driver's side of the firewall beneath thedashboard. Some later models may be equipped with a fuse panel cover. To removethe cover, pull the retaining clips loose on each side and lift the cover fromthe panel. Replacing a Fuse Locatethe fuse you believe is burned out by its label or use the owner's manual as aguide. To remove the fuse, you may need needle-nose pliers; don't put too muchpressure on the fuse or you could crack the casing. Examine the thin metalstrip between the two terminals. If it is broken, scorched or deformed, it mustbe replaced. Read more: Fuse Box Instructions for a Chevy Blazer ' eHow.com

M y radio stopped working on my 2004 trail blazer

The 2004 Trailblazer has two fuse panels, one in the under hood and one under the middle row seats. The radio fuse is marked RADIO fuse # 41 and is a 15 amp fuse located in the rear fuse panel. To access the rear fuse panel flip the seat behind the driver to the upright position, under it you can see the fuse panel and a diagram should be on the under side of the cover. 

Good luck and hope this helps.
