I just had a friend tell me they had a blazer, and the same issue. Their fix was that it had “a tricky ignition module. It wears out; cheap plastic. Easy to get at when you take shroud off around the steering wheel. It is an anti-theft deterrent that wears out”. This is a pic of what I found on Google Image for it, but I’m not certain. Can anyone confirm if this is actually it?
Yes this issue was happening before I replaced the battery or starter. I’ve done both of those replacements since this past Tuesday, when the issue started. I had left for work, and gotten about a mile and a half down the road, and stopped for gas. After I put the gas in, and tried to leave, it wouldn’t start. Had it towed home, and it’s been sitting here ever since.
Nothing I’ve done so far (new battery, starter/solenoid, cleaned cables) has made any difference in what happens when I turn the key first to “on”, and then to “start”. There is NO turning over and NO sound like the starter ever even gets any signal at all. There is no “clicking” sound out of the engine compartment at all to indicate anything is happening.
The ONLY thing that does happen as the key is turned to the start position is INSTANTLY everything goes black, and what I’m guessing is a relay in or near the glove box (I haven’t looked yet, because I’ve just learned late last night, and in to this morning that they exist, and might be an issue), is trying to make a connection, and keeps clicking. The only way to get it to stop it, is to apply the brake, or take the key completely out of the ignition. If I leave the key in the ignition in any position, this relay keeps clicking.
That is where it’s at this morning. 🙁
