1997 chevy s-10 blazer, when you turn the key on the dash lights come on & it will start. Lately I turn the key on & the dash lights do not come on, it turns over, but will not start. I have a remote starter & when I use it, it starts the car, but when I get in & put the key in & turn it foward it keeps running until I hit the brake. It acts like the key was not turned on !!!! HELP!!!

Check the engine bulkhead main wiring connector in front of the driver on the firewall, see if it is loose or corroded, remove it and reinstall it. This can also be due to the ignition starter switch being defective on the rear of the ignition key cylinder, very common on this model..
I would sugest the problem lies with the ignition switch or barrel if you can't move the key. I would 1st remove the switch from the barrel & turn with screwdriver to see if it operates.
the dash sound's like a fuse, check the fuse box under the hood and in the door jamb on the side of the dash, also check your fuel filter and fuel pump, im betting on the pump because i have a 2001 chevy blazer that has had two replaced and it has 233000km on it!
I had the same exact thing happen to me, I have a 97 blazer and after hours of screwing around with it and several different options... it turned out to simply be the ignition switch.
does it have a chip key?
and does your dash lights come on when you turn the key on?
if it doesnt have a chip key and the dash lights come on then turn the key too run position put on the ememency brake and try jumping across the starter, if it startes the probleb is in the netural safty switch!!
if the key is getting stuck its the Brake Shift Interlock Solenoid its just under the ignition switch you have a short in it you can unplug it or replace it what its doing is over heating the solenoid and at times it can drain your battry.and for the trans acting up you could have a short to one of your solenoids or it could be the trans filter.
same just happend 2 me,was told it was the neutral safety switch -but didnt start in neutral-took 2 shop 400 later it was the ignition switch runs great again hope i helped
