I have a 2001 Blazer LS, a few things were not working correctly, The Truck wouldnt always start when I tried to crank over, a fe lights on the dash would stay on even when the key was out, the PRND123 and odometer will not light up on the cluster, and the fuel guage doent seem active. One would think Ignition Switch right? wrong. i changed the whole harness and not a thing has changed. Im searching for a ground problem now, but not really sure what the real problem is. Any Ideas?!?

Not sure if this is your problem or not but in my blazer my gauges would just start going crazy at random times and sometimes the my speed would be accurate and other times it would be 10 mph off and the odometer and prnd123 would work sometimes and other times they wouldn't. after a lot of trying things I finally found the solder on the gauge cluster broke loose specifically at the PRND123 or the odometer I don't remember witch. I had to look at it under a magnifying glass and I could see some very slight movement after I soldered it back together it has been working great and I have not had any other problems with it. hope this helps you out.

If you got an older year column, you no longer have pass key 3 rfi receiver in it and the vehicle thinks you are stealing it.

SOURCE: odometer\tripmeter stop working

Pull the drive cable out of the odometer and try to turn it. If it turns the drive in your gearbox is worn out and needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 1997 chevy blazer key stuck in ignition AGAIN GRRRRRRR

I have worked on several vehicles with this same problem and each one was a relatively simple repair with no parts involved, first off the shift interlock has nothing to do with it and will not prevent your vehicle from going into park, it is designed to work ONLY when coming out of park. The problem your having depends on the type of shifter handle your vehicle has, if the release lever is on the bottom and you have to push up with your fingers to release it, then the problem is...there is a rubber type cover that surrounds the release button, after time it becomes distorted and bunches up preventing the shifter from fully engaging in the park position (even though it appears the vehicle is going into park)if your careful you can work the rubber cover out and your problem is fixed. If your shifter button is on the side and pressed with your thumb the cable needs to be adjusted, this cables only purpose is to prevent key removal except when in park and is easily adjusted, with the center council removed, if you look at the front of the shifter base you will see 2 cables that snap into the shifter frame, the larger one is the gear selector cable, the smaller one runs up to the steering column and operates the mechanism that prevents key removal, where the cable snaps into the shifter frame is where the adjustment is done and is identical to a kick-down cable used on older vehicles with automatic transmissions, right where it snaps into the frame there will be a button you can press down releasing a spring loaded adjustment arm, make sure you first mark the arm for reference then press down the button and adjust it a little either way until it functions properly, hope this helps and good luck

2001 LINCOLN LS WILL CRANK BUT WONT START EVERYTHING IS WORKING FUEL PUMP IS NOT GETTING POWER TO IT FUEL PUMP WORKS FINE ALL FUSES GOOD ALARM LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES WHEN TRYING TO START

If the alarm light is blinking, then the issue could be with the vehicle immobilizer or key. The key may need rematching to the vehicle's ECU, which will need reprograming by the manufacturer service centre.

2001 Chevy blazer check engine light has been on then last night ,blazer overheated and wouldnt start got towed home started after it cooled off added water to radiator the engine died and will not start...

It sounds to me that your engine shut itself off when it was overheated. If that's the case then you are looking at a major engine repair based on what you are telling us.An engine that gets hot enough to shut itself off does serious damage internally before it dies. You will need to take it to a shop to a complete diagnosis. Hope this helps.

2001 Chevrolet Blazer LS 2-dr, 4 wheel drive, 2 cranks to start

Try replacing the fuel filter first, but it sounds like your loosing your fuel pressure prim when the fuel pump is not working. The fuel pressure should be 62-65 PSI with the engine not running the the ignition key turned on and should drop about 5 psi when the engine is running. If you turn the engine off and check the fuel pressure, it stat steady for morn then 15min. If it drops fast, then you have a leak at your fuel pressure regulator (common) or your return fuel check valve which is located at your fuel sending unit.
Start with the simple and replace the fuel filter, it could just be to dirty to pressurize the fuel system fast enough giving you the hard start.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck

2001 hyundai santa fe, was running fine, went to crank it, all lights and chimes work, but it will not start. Not the battery, not the starter, thought possibly it was a transponder key, but was informed...

dear friend:this might sound stupid,but remove the key from the barrel and try again,then see if the dash lights dim when trying to start,if it does the battery is to flat to turn the engine,if it is a auto shift the lever slightly forward and backward to make sure it is not the neutral switch.
