Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2009 12:31 pm)  95 amps, which was the max that it should put out. But, I did walk out with a starter/ignition swtich (which, by the way is a pain in the ASS to put in 'cause it's mounted right on the steering column). After installing everything, the truck seem to kick over just fine. I tried it a couple of times, then decided to put the truck back together. After all that was done, I tried to start it again, and it was like it was dead as a freaking doorknob. So, now I'm scratching my head so much that I think I hit bone.

Regardless what the stater test revealed, I feel like your starter is worn out. I did not think people tested starters anymore, they just replace them as a routine procedure after 100,000 miles if there are starting problems. Before replacing the starter, make sure the battery, the cables and the cable connections are good. You need to replace the starter and starter solenoid with a remanufacturered starter and a new starter solenoid. NAPA has the best remanufactured products. NAPA remanufactured starters cost from $100 + $29 core deposit for a standard starter to $144 + $60 core deposit for a premium remanufactured starter. Both starters include a new solenoid. Replace the old worn out starter and you will be amazed how well the engine starts. As you found out, there was nothing wrong with your original ignition switch. Ignition switches seldom fail. I have never had to replace a ignition switch after 50 years keeping my old cars in good condition. |

| I have a 96 blazer that when you use the hazard lights all the tail lights flash even the backing lights the same as when I use the brakes at first it was just blowing fuses when I had the lights on and then turned now there's no turn signal at all and Ive checked all the connections to the lights but when I do use the braking or hazard lights everything else dims its almost like there's a short somewhere but Ive checked and replaced almost everything except the multifunction switch which I don't think would be the problem cause its my brake lights too and it was blowing fuses and I'm totally at a lost here and don't know what to do except replace that switch but don't want to unless I'm sure that's the problem....any help would be greatly appreciated. | |

| Okay I have a 1999 Blazer LS 4x4 4 door got about 118,000 miles now. About two years ago the throttle position sensor went bad or became out of adjustment. At the time my job was kind of hit and miss so I just unplugged the sensor. Everything still runs fine. Since then I have lost my job and been through a few others thanks to the economy and have not replaced it. About six months ago the right (passengers side) headlight went out. No big thing but before I had the chance to replace the bulb it came back on. For the past several months now some days it works some days it doesn't. Recently it quit all together. I also noticed my tag lights not working. My over head light stays on unless I push the over ride button on the dash. Today I replaced both the high and low beam bulbs in the head light and the tag light bulbs. Tag light still does not work and when high beam is selected the whole light goes out. Tested all bulbs they are good. Checked fuses they are good. I am loosing hair here. Have looked at all the wires I can get to to see if any chaffing did not see any. Break lights and turn signals work fine. Cruise works. Don't really care about dome light only mention incase they are somehow related. | |

Replying to: repairdog (Oct 22, 2006 3:53 am) about 20 minutes to do the recall. Solder on the printed circut board would crack thus leaving them inoperable. I know this because it happened to me. There was no problem scheduling the vehicle for the recall because they are able to do it very quik. |

I have an '89 full size Chevy Blazer that does not have any power going to the ignition. When the key is turned nothing happens. The battery is fully charged and I have power going to the alternator and starter. I have checked all the fuses in the fuse box and the inline fuses that I have been able to find. I am curious if power needs to be coming out of the starter solenoid or where else I could check to see if there is a break in the power. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
