The Chevrolet S10 Blazer was born in 1983, son of the S10 pickup truck and twin of the GMC Jimmy (which had only cosmetic differences with the Blazer). The Chevy Blazer was one of the first SUVs.
Powered by a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine, the early Chevy Blazers did not exactly shock and awe people with their 83-horsepower strength. However, Chevrolet did offer a 2.8-liter, 6-cylinder engine as an option.
In 1984, Chevrolet introduced an off-road package for drivers who wanted to take their Chevy Blazers four-wheelin'. The package included larger tires, front tow hooks, Bilstein shocks, and other modifications to accomodate off-road enthusiasts. Chevrolet made the hydraulic clutch standard for its 1984 Chevy Blazer. Cruise control was optional, and in 1984 the feature was redesigned to allow the driver to increase or decrease the set speed by one mile per hour at a time.
1984 Chevy Blazer drivers tended to love their trucks, reporting that they were reliable and could be driven anywhere. They kept their trucks for many years and miles, often recreating them as monster trucks.

I recently bought an 84 S10 type Chevy Blazer as a project for a more economical commuter. I didn’t pay much for it. The heater fan isn’t working on the dash controls. I hotwired the fan from the battery positive terminal to the purple wire connector on the fan and it runs fine. I thought about just running it like that when needed but decided that it wasn’t safe or practical. I checked for a blown fuse, nope. I took the dash apart, no power at the coupler to the dash controls. No melted connections at the back of the controls. Started tracing wires under the dashboard. Any suggestions? Kinda need the defroster for the early morning commute. Thanks!
