Chevy Avalanche won't start

My Chevy Avalanche won't start. It does not do anything. I've tried to jump it, checked the fuses and switched the relays. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you're getting no power at all when you turn the key to start, try disconnecting the battery and then hook it back up. Chevy has had some problems with an ignition relay solenoid that's mounted under the driver's side dash. Disconnecting power could reset the switch....If that seems to be it, a replacement is around $250. at a chevy dlrshp.

Have you done a deap cycle charge on the battery. Also check your battery cables. Are they broken, or need to be changed. Check both all the way to the body of the car and the starter.

97 chevy suburban AC clutch won't engage pressures

Looks like the low pressure switch gets power from a 10amp ac fuse. Power then goes to the ac relay which is powered on by the ac heat controller on the dash. Power then goes thru the high pressure switch to the compressor. The ac relay is grounded to the body. Do you have power on the lite and dark green wires going into the relay and is it grounded ?

My car runs fine for days then i'll park somewhere and go to turn it back on and it won't start at all. It won't turn over or anything.

CHECK BATTERY CONNECTIONS, STARTER CONNECTIONS, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN IT DOESN'T START, TO GET IT GOING AGAIN, DO YOU GET A JUMP START IF SO CHECK CONNECTIONS.

2004 chevy tahoe won't turnover or start by being jumped

The ignition start circuit is the path from the ignition key in cranking mode to the solenoid on the starter. The path travels through a starter relay and a neutral safety switch before it reaches the starter.
This must be the circuit not working on your car.Make sure battery and starter connections are tight.Check for power at the starter solenoid terminal with a testlight when someone turns key to crank. If you have power there, they sold you a defective starter. If you have no power there then it could be the relay or the neutral safety switch.

Chevy avalanche won't start

another person wrote this, I was trying to find more info for you.

I'm answering my own post so other's may reference. The problem was my Powertrain Control Moudle (PCM) kept blowing out due to a bad fuel pump.

so if you are inclined to check, your fuel pump can still work and not work correctly. So this needs to be tested under correct measures. More than likely on the truck. But I would locate the PCM and check to see if its blown.

If I find anything else I will forward it to you.
