You might try changing the fuse to see if that helps,but it sounds like a starter to me.

i have a 1998 s-10 with 195000mi. im having the same problem that so many other s-10 owners are having. the engine cranks but no start. it starts when it wants to. i checked fuel pressure. had pressure of 42. so i replaced fuel pump. now i have proper pressure of 62. truck ran great until i shut it off. same problem. no start. i got the truck started and sprayed motor with water. truck stoped runing. found arking at the coil. so i replaced coil, plugs, wires, distributor, and cap. also removed egr valve and cleaned. the truck started and ran great. got the truck home turned it off. tried re-starting after 15min. same problem, no start. the spider tray and injectors were replaced within the last year. last night i noticed that the head lights would turn off when the doesnt start. and stay on when it does. i dont know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. (truck has day time runing lights) PLEASE, any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU, Tim T Chicago IL

security light by becke

I have a 2001 chevy s10. The security light went on and now the truck won't turn over. There is no "chip" on the key. The service dept at the dealer said to turn it to the start position and leave it for 10 min and it might reset itself. My truck is stranded at work and there are no shops any where near to have it towed to. Any suggestions on how to get the truck going??? Help!!!!

You might disconnecting the battery for at least a minute.That should reset everything.Be sure to tighten it pretty good when you reconnect.Let me know if that works.Good Luck. T.M.

check your lock cylinder. i had replaced a numerous of parts on mine, and it turned out to be a lock cylinder. turn your key half way just till the dash lights come on. then turn your key just enough so the engine engages. hope this helps.
