Where is the fuel pump relay or inertia switch for a 1992 Chevy Blazer Tahoe 4X4?

The location of the fuel pump relay and inertia switch in a 1992 Chevy Blazer Tahoe 4x4 varies slightly depending on the trim level and specific options. However, they're generally found in these areas:

* Fuel Pump Relay: This is most likely located in the underhood fuse block or relay center. This fuse block/center is typically situated near the battery, often on the driver's side fender well. Your owner's manual should have a diagram showing the fuse and relay locations within this block. The relay itself may be labeled, or you might need to consult the manual's legend to identify it.

* Inertia Switch: The inertia switch is a safety device designed to cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a collision. This is usually found inside the vehicle, typically under the dash, often near the driver's side kick panel or under the carpet near the driver's side. It's usually a small, usually square, black box with a button that can be pushed to reset it after a suspected impact.

To find them definitively:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is your best resource. The diagrams and explanations will be specific to your exact vehicle's year, model, and options.

2. Look for diagrams online: Websites like Haynes or Chilton offer repair manuals and often have diagrams of fuse and relay locations. Make sure you're looking at a 1992 model year diagram.

3. Use a multimeter: If you're comfortable with basic electrical work, you can use a multimeter to trace the fuel pump circuit to locate the relay.

Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with electrical components to prevent accidental shorts.
