I own a 1997 chevy blazer, 4x4, and my ignition switch/ lock cylinder keeps blowing, resulting in i cannot get my key out of the ignition, and my check engine light is on, and my blazer does not start in first gear, when i go, it starts out in 2nd or third gear. The switch blew about three months ago, and i replaced it with a brand new one, and it blew again, so i am looking for a reason why it keeps blowing on me. any ideas?
I don't think the key and tumbler is your problem at all. The switch is down on your steering column. It's either loose and sliding around when the rod pulls, or it's wrecked. They can cause all kinds of problems. Just drop your steering column and take a look.
Okay , sorry. I didn't realize you understood that. The only thing i can think of is proper adjustment when you install the new one. It might be pulling too far.
Oops! i was thinking of the wrong truck. Anyway, i have heard that those ones have problems in the shifter, that can cause problems with the switch. Might want to check that out.

okay, but i know it is the switch, cuz it happened to me before, and i replaced the ignition switch, and it was fine. and now it blew again, so all i wanna know is what would blow it?
what do you mean? what might be pulling to far?
what would be wrong, in the shifter that would blow the switch... cuz thats kinda makin sense to me, i just cant figure out what would fu*k up the switch, that has to do with the shifter...
