Won\'t Start

I need help. I have a won't start problem with my 1990 k-5.
the other day i started my Blazer and about 10 seconds later, it went completely dead. I then restarted it and it ran fine for 2 days. Today i tried to start it and nothing happened. The battery is fine, the key on position lights up the dash but, when i turn the key to start, All the lights on the dash go out and the battery gauge reads 0. There is no clicks like from a bad solenoid. Just silence. I am lost. I replaced the ignition switch and that was not the problem.. I need help i hope someone has an answer.....

Check the negative cable to be sure it is grounded correctly. Could just be a bad starter too. Good Luck

It sounds like you may need a new ignition module. That happened to my '90 this summer and thats what was wrong.

Re: Won\'t Start

Might try finding your starter and checking its cables. Make sure they are all tight. You might have one that is falling off and causing some problems. You might also have the starter checked. Check all your battery connections, WATCH THE POSITIVE AND YOUR CONNECTION TO THE BLAZER BODY I FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY, and make sure they are not corroded or getting bad connections. Check the fuse box too...never know what something will cause. Check your ignition (distrib, spark plug wires)system. Make sure all cables look good and are making good connection. Hope something here helps.

Check underneath..from the center of your distrib cap there will be the coil wire..check and make sure its hooked up and functioning properly. Check all the wires underneath the dash. How long ago was the switch out of the coloumn? If you just did it you have a loose wire somewhere. Check everything...problems pop up in the strangest places!!
