What do you mean by no crank ? When you turn the key to the start position nothing Happens or the engine cranks but doesn't start an run ? You mite or mite not know that people refer to crank over as starting an running . If when you turn you key to the start position an nothing happens there is a relay in the underhood fuse box .Another thing , you replaced a fuse or the whole fuse box . Starter relay # 47 Do you know about relays ? how they work , power side an control side . The engine computer energizes the relay if no anti-theft system etc... You can go to http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams an see what all is involved ! Once you click on link enter your vehicle info an under system click on engine an then under subsystem click on starting system . You can also go to youtube an check out videos on relays , basic electrical trouble shooting , voltage drop testing .Because testing is the only way to find out what the problem is . You should have it check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes as well !

Testimonial: "it does not turn over there is power to everything checked the starter and relay checked the fuel pump and relay everything works changed fuse panel under the hood vehicle started and died 3-4 seconds later and same thing noturn over or start had it scanned and u1000 code appeared stated no communication link check security passlock it was not engaged thanks ralph"

    U codes are communication problems with the class 2 serial data network .All modules on the vehicle share information on this network , it cuts down on wiring need to control vehicle .

    DTC U1000 and U1255
    Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once.
    The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a star configuration. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data line:

    • The body control module (BCM)

    • The driver door module (DDM)

    • The electronic brake control module (EBCM)

    • The front passenger door control module (FPDM)

    • The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)

    • The instrument panel cluster (IPC)

    • The HVAC control module

    • The liftgate control module (LGM)

    • The memory seat module-driver

    • The memory seat module-passenger

    • The powertrain control module (PCM)

    • The RSA/HVAC control module-rear auxiliary

    • The theft deterrent control module

    • The transfer case shift control module

    • The radio
    Diagnostic Aids
    When a malfunction occurs while modules are communicating, a lost communication DTC is set as a current DTC. When the modules stop communicating the current lost communication DTC is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set.

    Where did you find this U1000 code ? PCM -engine computer ? What type scan tool ,code reader use used ?
    Install a scan tool.
    Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
    Record the DTCs set in by each module. If using a Tech 2, use the Class 2 DTC Check feature to determine which modules have DTCs set.
    Did you record any DTCs in the range of U1001-U1254 with a history status?
    Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List
    Go to Step 2

    2
    Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
    Attempt to communicate with each module on the class 2 serial data circuit. If using a Tech 2, obtain this information using the class 2 Message Monitor feature.
    Record all of the modules communicating on the class 2 serial data circuit.
    Compare the list of modules which are communicating to the list given in Circuit Description.
    Does any module on the class 2 serial data circuit not communicate?

  • Jeff Armer Mar 01, 2016

    Test the following circuits of the module that is not communicating for an open or short to ground:

    • The battery positive voltage supply circuits

    • The switched battery positive supply circuits

    • The battery positive voltage output circuits

    • The ignition voltage input circuits

    • The ignition voltage output circuits

-Check each fuse by looking through its plastic if it blow you can tell or hook up volt meter to (in Ohm) you'll find which one is burn.

2003 trailblazer 5.3 no fire change cam & crank sensor

if its got no fire and you changed your cam and crank sensor try replacing the ignition Coil then if it doesn't work replace the distributor cap and spark plugs and wires if that doesn't work then take the distributor cap off and replace the distributor Rotor if it still doesn't work replace the wires to the rotor if still i dosent work check your fuses but i assure you that should fix it.

I have a 97 grand cherokee it keeps blowing the asd fuse i changed the pcm,the cam and crank sensors it started and i drove about a block and it blew the fuse again i changed the fuse and turned it over...

Hi, the asd relay powers a lot of things. You may have to unhook some stuff to figure out what is causing the problem. Is your engine light on? I think the O2 sensor heaters are on that fuse but they should throw a trouble code, as the PCM monitors that current. You could unhook the EVAP leak detection pump--I think it's in the rear bumper on driver's side. The injectors are on the fuse as well as the alternator stator current. Perhaps you could disconnect the pump, O2 sensors, and the alternator (just the connector--not the charge wire). Then start the car and hook stuff back one at a time until the fuse blows. Make sense? Let me know if you have questions and thanks for using FixYa.

Well, some things need to be done systematically. Check for spark to make sure the coils are in fact working. Check for fuel to make sure you don't have a bum fuel pump and/or plugged filter. Ignition coils will get hot. The very fact that it melted may be the sign of a computer issue. Let me know what you find and then we can move forward.

Hello I blew the crank fuse is it possiable that I blew another cause car wont start.

yes quite possible you may have blown another fuse too--- if the wiring's are grounded somewhere get it checked.and yes the car wont start until you change the fuse.also check that the fuse insertion socket is not rusted.if its rusted just clean it properly before putting in new fuse.

thanks,keep updated and please rate the solution positively.
