Sorry to start a whole new thread, but can anyone tell me where under hood fuse block X50A is located?

 

And yes, I have looked under the hood (smartasses).

Driver side behind the extra battery tray.

I looked under there and it looks like this. I'll dig deeper in that area. Thanks!

I wonder if it's on the firewall or beside the main block that I showed, haven't looked for another fuse block under the hood. I may check it out tomorrow.

Are you sure it's under the hood? Could also be under the dash with all of those harness'. It's no telling with a vehicle with all these electronics lol. Scares me because I'm not exactly a wiring guy unless it's simple so I worry about when I need to start fixing some of it.

I'm actually not sure it's under the hood. The electrical manual I'm looking in calls it an under hood fuse block. I guess it could be anywhere. I just glanced under the hood and didn't find it right away. I'll dig in more after work tomorrow.

And the consumer site doesn't even have all 2014 models, nevermind 2015 for our newest members.

 

OP-

 

The GM upfitter manual says "In the engine compartment, top left near the inner fender". I don't know if that's from the driver seat or from standing in front of the truck. If its from standing in front I'd bet it may be near/under the battery.

 

Edit- nope it is from sitting inside. See page 226:

Just a hint- After opening the manual, I use control F (or command F on a Apple) to open the finder window and I searched for the X50A fuse block and kept clicking next.

Thanks! That is incredibly helpful. I'll try to find it tomorrow.

Good luck getting that off. I still have not wrapped my side vents because I'm not willing to pull any harder on that panel. I'll get the dealer to show it to me next time.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
