WBKrazy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 hmmm.... what model chevy is it, year, engine etc? anyways, start with the basics...check all the fuses first, including the ones under the hood.. if all of them are good and it's still not getting fuel, turn the key on and listen for the whir of the fuel pump...if you can't hear it, try lightly whapping the tank with a bat, or a stick, etc...

jpdocdave Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 if you have no bulb check for the first few seconds with the key on engine off, gm is notorious for bad ignition switch. usually its a dead give away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project88mj Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 how do i test that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxRacing282 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 with the key in the off position, turn it to the run or on position, make sure its not the accessories. you should hear some relays click under the dash, every light in the insturment cluster should turn on, abs, srs, oil, coolant, battery, mil ect. if none of that happens, check the ignition fuses. I'm not doubting your wiring, but i have seen the ignition wire chafe and ground out and pop fuses before. if the fuse is good, next check the relay, it should click right when the key is turned on. if it does not then there will be more relays like it on the truck, like the A/C may be the same relay, go ahead and swap it to see if it works, if it does then thats the problem. if the relay is clicking properly then i would say you need an ignition switch.

jpdocdave Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 iirc no relays will click, no lights light up when the switch is bad. the starter still gets power because thats a different part of the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
