1997 chevy blazer wont start

I have a 1997 chevy blazer Ls.....just recently my truck just died while i was driving....when you turn the key to the ACC position, it doesnt get any of the dash lights, like the check engine light, the brake light, seat belt etc....it also wont come out of park even if you have your foot on the break and the key turned....as soon as the dash lights went out it got stuck in park.....please email me if you know the problem at [email protected]

Could be the nuetral/start safety switch, or the linkage to the transmission pin has come loose and jammed.

1997 chevy blazer turns over but wont start,starts once in a blue moon

Mine did that when the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Try this a mechanic friend told me this once to basically save my starter. Turn the key to on (only far enough for the radio to come on) count to like 15 or 20 turn the key back to off and then go ahead and start it up. It sounds stupid, but it got the Blazer to turn over until I could get it brought in for the fuel pump to be replaced. I hope that helps you.

1997 chevy s10 blazerdash wont light up when key

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!

My 1997 chevy blazer does not have a 4wheel drive switch

If there is no switch present then it is full time 4X4, it does not disengage, good for travel bad for fuel mileage.

97 Blazer starts hard and quits while driving

Replace the Ignition Switch, the electric part, not the lock cylinder.
