How can I unlock my 97chevy c1500 manual locks keys in the ignition

Three options here. Personally I would recommend the first one as the technician will be responsible for any damage done by him. One, call a vehicle lock specialist and pay him to retrieve them. Two, try to force entry yourself. **CAUTION** This is classed as Breaking and Entering*. You can do it with an untwisted old style wire coat hanger on the side nearest to you but it involves a lot of fishing about blindly. Using a thick rag to protect the paint, you can GENTLY lever the top of the door away from the body a small amount. Enough to get the wire in. You can then fish around to try and hook the door pull inside the vehicle to open it that way. And thirdly, the nasty one, break a window.

Assuming you have checked all the relevant fuses and relays, check for a blown inline fusible link in one of the power wires from the battery to the ignition switch. If you need a wiring diagram, try Alldatadiy.com.

This sounds like your turn signal relay is sticking. If it is sticking it does not matter the position of your turn signal arm. Check the relay. It will be in your fuse box under the hood.

1997 chevrolet 1500. Fuel pump is working with

I don't know liter size of engine? I need fuel pressure spec? If you have the spider fuel system, that system is noted for problems. Usually the start up fuel pressure is 60--66 psi, after it is running, it will run with less pressure. There used to be service bulletin on the spider fuel system for sticking poppet valves on first start up of the morning. Then it would usually run fine the rest of the day. The fix was to clean the poppet valves. The cleaning procedure I saw was a shop procedure. If it isn't a fuel issue, engine cranking, the vehicle systems get battery voltage, engine running the systems get alternator voltage, that can be several volt difference. Any applicable trouble codes?

1997 chevrolet c1500 engine start and has a miafire

The easiest way to track down a miss fire is to use a pyometer on the exhaust ports to see which one is not firing. When you have which cylinder is not firing you can check and make sure that plug is firing, if the fuel injector is metering, or if that cylinder is low on compression.

How do I change the ignition cylinder on a 97 Chevy c1500 if can't turn key to on/run.

You need to remove the steering wheel , turn signal control and in the steering column you will find a pin that holds the tumblers in place for the key switch. You can remove the pin and then remove the key tumbler and replace it. Go to You Tube and they have videos on just what you need to do to remove the steering wheel and etc. Hope this helps.
