2004 Chevy Trailblazer hesitating	Sign In

I just recently bought a used 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. The battery was not holding charge so I took to Autozone and had alternator checked - they said it was fine. Then had a rare taillight replaced. Ran ok until I turned on the interior light for a couple minutes then wouldn't start again. Took it in and was told that the alternator was over charging. Alternator was replaced. Last night on my way home it was heistate at stop lights like it was going to stall. Turned everything off (radio, heater blower, etc) before turning off the car last night. This morning ran fine, no problem at all. Left the radio and heater blower on when I got to work this morning. When I went to lunch it was hestating again, actually did stall once. Any idea what the problem might be?

OK - you thought battery wasn't holding so you checked the alternator? Hmmm? Perhaps charge then load test battery and make certain connections are good and go from there,

I kinda confused. You stated it wouldn't start and you had the alternator replaced. Do you mean it wouldn't crank? It's important you get the terminology right.

Crank means the starter motor is turning the engine.

Start means the engine runs after it is cranked by the starter motor.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
