Hop to it before it gets dark and cold. I'm not trying to sound cockey...but your burning day light...esp if we are all right and it is your starter...no $ spent to get it running and top get mom off your back.

Chevy87blazer · 01-19-2003, 04:33 PM

its in my garage right now and i have shop lights in there.

Chevy87blazer · 01-19-2003, 04:48 PM

the engine isnt locked up

Chevy87blazer · 01-19-2003, 05:54 PM

what no one has anymore ideas??

Alexis · 01-19-2003, 06:33 PM

have you taken the starter to get tested?

Chevy87blazer · 01-19-2003, 06:37 PM

no i havent been able to get it off yet

greasemonkey · 01-19-2003, 07:20 PM

Hasn't it been like this for several weeks already?? If I had a dead truck in my garage, I would be out there every time I got the chance....not to criticize you or anything, just take the damn starter off first, if it's not that, you have one thing to check off the list.

TODDS 72 · 01-19-2003, 07:38 PM

Turn the key in the on position,take a jumper wire from big post to small post of starter if it turns over and starts you prolly got a bad conn.or selinod......try hitin starter with a hammer..not a BFH..just a tap tap....if that don't work drop the starter..also on the s10s if you pull the right moter mount bolt jack that side up you can take starter out from top side much more easy..thats all i got less you have some test equ. of your own ......good luck

**68 Stepside** · 01-19-2003, 08:10 PM

do you have power to everything else in the cab of the blazer? does everything else work, but the starter just not engage? Have you checked the neutral safety switch (if it's an automatic)? If it's a stick, are you sure the clutch is fully depressed while turning the key? Can you take a screwdriver and get the starter to engage by jumping the battery terminal to the "s" terminal on the solenoid? Just a few ideas, I haven't been following this too closely...

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 11:07 AM

i have power to everything but my CD player. The lights work fine everything does but the engine!

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 03:51 PM

How do i check to see if it is the switch is bad???

greasemonkey · 01-21-2003, 03:56 PM

Where is your CD player wired to? Is the constant power (not sure if this is the right word) wire spliced into the ignition wire?

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 04:00 PM

uhmmm.... i just use a wiring harness that i bought for my year of blazer... so i didnt have to really mess with any wires

greasemonkey · 01-21-2003, 04:07 PM

Have you used a remote starter switch or just the key?

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 04:08 PM

just a key

greasemonkey · 01-21-2003, 04:13 PM

One more question (I hope)- do you have power to other things when the key is in the acc or on position, like wipers etc?

DennyB · 01-21-2003, 06:41 PM

Didnt we go through this 2 weeks ago?

Did you try all the things that was suggested?

Have you tested the starter and solenoid?

Take off all the connections and make sure there clean and corrosion free. this includes battery, starter and ground connections.

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 07:59 PM

yes everything works that worked when it died...

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 08:00 PM

yeah i checked the connections for all the things and they are good. but i didnt take the starter off to get it tested yet. i will try to do that tomorrow b/c my friend needed to use some of my tools for a couple of days

Chevy87blazer · 01-21-2003, 09:03 PM

alright i put it in neutral and turned the key.. nothing happened at all no click at all!! nothing!! this is really messed up!

79Silv4x4 · 01-21-2003, 10:02 PM

Not a flame, but you've been given sound advice--TAKE THE STARTER OFF AND HAVE IT TESTED! Until then you are wasting your time and everyone elses.

Chevy87blazer · 01-22-2003, 12:28 AM

alright

*Shane* · 01-22-2003, 12:51 AM

... or just let your mom sell it ...

Chevy87blazer · 01-22-2003, 10:16 AM

I dont want her to sell it right now! Maybe if i get it running then she can... hell i want to get rid of it..... but see she wants to see it for like $750 or some BS like that! and i need to make some money off it... people have told me that if i get it in good running order and get the inside detailed taht i could get almost $3000 out of it... but thats if i'm lucky you know?
