This procedure usually works:
·Check the battery cable connections:
Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine. Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter.

·Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely good enough to start the car.

·Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's pinion gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck pinion gear.
·Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.

Just take every cord connected to the positive side of the battery off for 10 seconds to allow the alarm to reset, then flip the little switch under the dash so the alarm won't activate again.

Just disconnect the battery (negative terminal) and turn the headlight switch on for about 15 minutes. This should reset the PCM. Otherwise go to Advance and have them hookup the code reader and reset the codes. Thanks

2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. It turns over won't start. It has a new Battery and a new Throttle Body.

When you disconnect a battery you have to reset the Engine Immobilizer. Also the Throttle body needs calibration, or a learning procedure.

2008 Chevy trailblazer after you drive and you stop won't go until you turn off and back on or if you start it and let set and warm up want go until you turn off and back on

Check the fuel pressure , the non return could be faulty letting the fuel drain back to the tank , By switching on and off you are building up pressure in the fues system .

How to unlock my 08 chevy trailblazer, the battery is good but a light comes on the dash with a car symbol and a locked lock on the car and my car wont start (also my radio has been locked too)

check fuses relays and battery --lights going on is not an indication of battery being good --test battery with a meter or try boosting but your problem more than likely is key or ignition switch check --your key if worn or have chip key and chip/battery fail truck will not start if you have the other key try that one or try the relearn for the passlock system the link has information on how to do it

I can't start my 2002 chevy trailblazer after battery change. my keyless entry is damage and i fear it is the anti theft security system not allowing it to kick over, any suggestion to start?

Is the security light flashing? If it is, put the key in and turn all the way but don't start. Leave on for 10 min. Or until the security light stops flashing. Turn off and then try to start.
