Distance between striker plate and striker plate 2004 trailblazer. Back doors. Putting on quater panel.

on the plate attached to the firewall, stamped into the inner guards , in the chassis

The door latching mechanism closes around the striker plate, or striker, or striker latch.

well, look and see if the striker has slipped back, then, look at the latch, it might be engaged if it is, stick a screw driver in it and pull the handle to release it using the screw driver as the striker.

Hello,

The drain plug of the chevrolet 2004 trial blazer is located under the engine skid plate it is with the oil filter. And there is a guard to be removed. There is a trap door before it.

The skid plate door is located by the drivers side door, directly midway underneath the vehicle. You will need a flat/phillips hear screwdriver to open the trap door. Do not worry, the screws are 'loss-proff' and will not fall off the trap door plate. Once this has been removed, the oil drain plug and oil filter are now visible and accessible.

Oil change should not take you more that 15/20 minutes.

Hope this helped.
Take care and good luck

Hi!!
The doors Hinges or Striker need to be adjusted to make up for the weatherstrip thickness. To do this, loosen the hinge-to-door bolts for lateral adjustment only. Loosen the hinge-to-body bolts for both lateral and vertical adjustment.
FRONT DOORS
REAR DOORS

BEFORE YOU START:

• Determine which hinge bolts are to be loosened and back them out just enough to allow movement.
• To move the door safely, use a padded pry bar. When the door is in the proper position, tighten the bolts to 19-25 ft. lbs. (26-35 Nm) and check the door operation. There should be no binding or interference when the door is closed and opened.
• Door closing adjustment can also be affected by the position of the lock striker plate. Loosen the striker plate bolts and move the striker plate just enough to permit proper closing and locking of the door.

TO ADJUST ON A: F-150, F-250, Expedition and Navigator
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT

• Loosen the front door hinge to front door bolts.
• Adjust the front door alignment.
• Tighten the front door hinge to front door bolts to 19-25 ft. lbs. (26-35 Nm).

FRONT DOOR FORE AND AFT ADJUSTMENT Check the rear door hinge adjustment before adjusting the front door hinge.

• Remove the front fender.
• Loosen the front door hinge to body bolts.
• Adjust the front door alignment to specification.
• Tighten the front door hinge to body bolts.
• Install the front fender.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT The following procedure is for performing fore, aft, up, down and tilt adjustments.

• Remove the door striker.
• Loosen the bolts only enough to allow for slight door movement.
• Carefully close and adjust the door until flush with the adjacent body panels.
• Carefully open the door and tighten the bolts.
• Re-install and adjust the door striker.
• Check the door for proper operation and alignment.

STRIKER ADJUSTMENT Mark the position of the striker before loosening.

• Loosen the striker retaining bolts.
• Adjust the door striker and tighten the striker retaining bolts.

Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

Clicking sound is the starter solenoid again and again pushing the starter motor armature forward against the toothed outer edge of the flywheel. Check the heavy cables and connections from the battery to the starter motor and the earth strap from the engine back to the frame. If everything is OK then remove the motor and examine the electrical striker plates inside the motor body...you will have to open the motor up on the bench. The striker plates are copper and when the solenoid pushes the armature the contacts hit the striker plates allowing heavy current to be drawn by the starter motor to crank the engine over. These striker plates wear out. Fortunately there are cheap kits that allow you to replace the striker plates. Once fixed the motor should last a good number of years. One pece of advice, clean the motor interior if you feel you have to but do not lubricate anything, it only attracts the dirt and this will kill the motor in short time.

Here's the solution: You might want to park it under a tree and tie a rope to the door to pull it up when loosened.

NOTE: Loosen the hinge-to-door bolts for lateral adjustment only. Loosen the hinge-to-body bolts for both lateral and vertical adjustment.

1. Determine which hinge bolts are to be loosened and back them out just enough to allow movement.
2. To move the door safely, use a padded prybar. When the door is in the proper position, tighten the bolts to 19–25 ft. lbs. (25.5–34.5 Nm) and check the door operation. There should be no binding or interference when the door is closed and opened.
3. Door closing adjustment can also be affected by the position of the lock striker plate. Loosen the striker plate bolts and move the striker plate just enough to permit proper closing and locking of the door.

Usually to get to any speakers in the door you need to remove the entire door panel, but sometimes in rare cases they do have an access panel that pops in and out with clips in front of the speakers.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. I don't know what speaker you'll actually need.

open the door , look at the latch on the door , as it get older and non lubricated , the latch can stick in the locked position , i,m going to draw a picture .


when the door is open it should look like the picture , i suggest your door is in the closed position and why it bounces off as you say , take a , lets say a screw driver stick it in where the little lever thats sticking up , push the door open button on the outside door handle , pry that lever forward , if successful try it , and lubricate it , hope my barbaric picture gets the point across .
