How to Install a New CD Player in a 99 Blazer
- 1). Pull the hood-release lever under the dashboard of the Blazer. Move to the front of the vehicle.
- 2). Lift the hood to access the battery. Loosen the negative battery cable clamp with the wrench. Move the cable away from the battery. Return to the inside of the vehicle.
- 3). Remove the two bolt screws on the lower dash panel under the steering column. The two screws are on either side of the steering wheel and can be removed with a 7 mm socket and ratchet.
- 4). Remove the bolt screw above the Blazer's instrument panel with the socket and ratchet.
- 5). Grab the dashboard panel at one corner and pull it away from the dashboard. The plastic clips that secure the panel to the dashboard will disengage with a moderate amount of force.
- 6). Remove the two screws beside the stereo and pull the stock deck from the stereo-mounting bracket. Unplug the two plastic wire connectors and antenna cable from the back of the radio.
- 7). Place the installation-kit adapter into the dock. Screw in the two screws formerly used to secure the factory stereo in the dock.
- 8). Plug the Blazer's stereo-wiring group connectors into the wiring-harness adapter leads. Plug the leads into the signal and power outlets on the back panel of the CD player.
- 9). Plug the black antenna cable into the GM antenna-adapter cord. Plug the adapter cord into the outlet on the left side of the CD player's rear panel.
