When i turn the key I get no dash lights, 97 blazer

I have a 97 chevrolet blazer, when i turn the key i get nothing on the dash no lights etc. The vehicle obviously desn't start. This usually happens on cold damp mornings, if i persist on turning the key, eventually the dash lights will come on and the vehicle will start fine. I think maybe a dodgy ignition switch ????

I had the same exact thing happen to me, I have a 97 blazer and after hours of screwing around with it and several different options... it turned out to simply be the ignition switch.

Testimonial: "Cheers really appreciated that the second opinion was very helpful, mine also just turned out to be just the ignition switch. SO what will be next ???"

97 blazer stuck in park and no dash lights like battery,seat belt

Check the fuses.

Some transmissions will not allow you to move the selector stick, unless the brake is depressed. If the brake globes, or fuses have blown, you can not move the transmission of out park.

I have a 97 Chevy Blazer w/ 181,000 miles. When

if the key is getting stuck its the Brake Shift Interlock Solenoid its just under the ignition switch you have a short in it you can unplug it or replace it what its doing is over heating the solenoid and at times it can drain your battry.and for the trans acting up you could have a short to one of your solenoids or it could be the trans filter.

Blazer

did you turn the key fully to towards the dash? take the steering wheel left and right slowely and at the same time turn the key back and forth several times slowly. there is a detent inside the steering column that allows you to ingage the neutral safety switch. this should help.....please rate this thanks.
