It could be a couple of things. It could be a fuse, or the starter is gone bad. or it could be the ignition switch. to check the starter go under and touch the relays with a screw driver. (tap the ends do not hold it on there) if you get nothing its the starter. check the fuses to see if there is a break. and if it's none of these it's more than likely the ignition

1995 chev suburban 2500 wont stART

First, you need to know that when you are asking for help with your vehicle - ESPECIALLY when you have and engine that will not run, there is some standard information you should include:

> C-2500 Suburban (2-Wheel Drive) or K-2500 Suburban (4-Wheel Drive)?
> Which ENGINE is your Suburban equipped with?
> Is this an AUTOMATIC or STANDARD transmission?

These things can all make a HUGE difference in the wiring diagrams for your vehicle. There are also some components that are used on one vehicle that do not exist on others. So, to make sure we are working with the correct information for your vehicle, it is necessary to get a FULL description of the vehicle.

With all that said, I also find that the problem description is a little unclear. When you say "No response from the ignition electrical system", do you mean that the starter will not crank the engine? Or do you mean that the starter is cranking the engine, but there is no ignition? Or do you mean something more like nothing works when the ignition switch is turned on?

When it comes to electrical diagnosis, it is very important to know what IS working, as well as what is NOT.

Get back to me with this information and I will see if I can help you.

1997 chevrolet suburban with 7.4 engine will not start after being turned off without waiting 10 minutes.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

1996 suburban with 5.7l have good fuel pressure, sparks at the plugs, cranks with starter fluid but wont crank when i disconnect the crank sensor.

when you say good fuel pressure is it 55 psi with the key on and engine off? any thing less then 50 psi will not start the engine. if the engine starts with starter fluid then the problem is in the fuel system.

Turns over but wont start like its getting no gas

A car engine needs 3 things to start. 1. compression 2. a spark 3. fuel Assuming your engine is ok, you've lost either spark or fuel. Get a can of starting fluid and spray into the throttle body. try to start. if it starts, you're problem is fuel related (clogged filter,fuel pump,relay etc) if it still doesn't start, you've got no spark (coil,module,wiring harness,computer)
