2007 GMC Envoy WILL START, starter will not disengage. New ignition switch, will not disengage. Why?

Question edited for funky spelling and punctuation. Question moved to model category. Jeff provides a great answer to the issue
  • Jeff Armer Jan 02, 2023. Starter relay contacts stuck closed could be a reason .
  • Circuit Description Moving the ignition switch to the START position sends a 12 volt signal to the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) Crank Request circuit. The ECM/PCM verifies that the transmission is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position. With the transmission in Park, voltage flows through the Park/Neutral position switch and feeds the starter relay coil. The ECM/PCM then grounds the control circuit of the starter relay. When the starter relay is energized it allows battery positive voltage to the starter solenoid S terminal. On some vehicles the starter will continue to crank the engine with the key released until it starts or the crank command has timed out to prevent excessive heat build up in the starter circuitry or the ECM/PCM receives an engine run flag.

Fixya expert i have a 1996 gmc sierra c1500 305 5.0 the coil module has 2 blades c8 coil adapters thats right

Your system is pretty basic and easy to troubleshoot. The coil only has 2 connectors. Battery + and the ground signal that comes from the distributor. The + lead should have 12v battery power when the key is turned on and the other wire should get a pulsing ground signal when the engine is turned over. You can test the system with a 12v test light. If you ground the clip end and probe the + wire the light should light bright anytime the key is on and if you clip the light to 12v + and probe the signal wire while the engine is cranking, the light should pulse.

Where are the flashers located on 1990 GMC Sierra c1500 pickup w

You have one flasher for your turn signals and one for your emergency flashers. If one turn signal works then it isn't your flasher. I would look at the connector under the bed where the trailer plug splits off. This is a common place for corrosion. With a 12v test light you can probe from the light for power. If there isn't anything at the connector at the light move up to the splitter. If you have a signal there your problem is between it and the tail light.

5.7 vortex 96 Gmc 1500 cranks but cuts off almost immediately or if you give it gas

C1500 pickup/ that was done backward, pump first? and bath in fuel. the order is, engine , spark and last fuel are those spark plugs 27 years old,? can not burn fuel with spark dead. test them all we do. spark tests same goes on dead engines (mech) we check engine compression first, 150PSI up and equal x8 then spark x8 IMMO fitted cars the IMMO lamp must not be glowing wrong. then fuel tests and air tests (you said added air is no cure , good test that) means ISC dead , no air to start. thanks that make any engine seem bad and is not really . EGR stuck open huge vacuum leaks (if maf based EFI) CATS melted blocking exhaust and engine can not pump air a vacuum test (cracking levels) proves cats not melted. ISC valve stuck closed no idle air. use the scan told more correctly? 1; connect up tool. 2: key on scan (nothing you said) 3:crank for 5 seconds. 4: release key (NOT OFF) 5: scan again, give a few minutes to roll out DTC'S if not push the pending DTC button, see them. roll out. using a real scan tool. not a $13 lame code only reader. ok still dead remove fuel pump fuse or relay. (we are expecting flooded engine) crank for 5 seconds to clear the flood at WOT wide open throttle. then try in this state now, spray starter fluid, to induction. 3 seconds spray ,get 3seonds run time. repeat 3 times listen for engine damage. Noise. last and not the least cap and rotor and wires sets are no good, 27 years old ever assuming me above battery charger keeps it charged assumes Distributor not lost time. pulled and put back wrong. as vast folks do, all the time. not told when it last ran perfectly (never seen it or?)

Why would both of my low beam headlights burn out when jump starting my 2005 GMC Envoy SUV 4.2 liter?

Probably too much unregulated power from the jump box. Get your digital multimeter and test the voltage off car and jump it to the multimeter. I live in the Great White North (Canada) and a trickle charger and a block heater are essential. I just had my block heater on for 4 days as the temperature was -15'C or - 23' with wind chill. They are only 125 watts.
