Do the headlights come on? This is independent of the key. If not, you have a supply problem (fusible link, open circuit battery, etc...). Measure the voltage on the battery if you can (should be 11.5-12.5 volts DC). If lower, replace or charge the battery. If the headlights come on, then you have an ignition issue (security system, most vehicles have a transponder in the key to stop "hot-wiring" a car, or still could be a fusible link (a wire from the battery to the starter designed to fail if too much current is drawn), ignition switch, park/neutral switch (car must be in park or neutral to start)). Although if the park/neutral switch, usually all other ignition based items work fine, it just won't start.

Why won't my Blazer turn on?

Won't start how ? You put the key in the ignition an turn the key to start ,what happens ? Does the starter engage an spin the engine but doesn't start or it does nothing ? When you turn the key on do the lights in the instrument cluster light - check engine , ABS , battery , SRS - air bags , ? If you can't supply more details your best bet mite be to take it to a quailfied repair shop.

I had misplaced keys of 03 chrysler sebring and popped car open to see if were inside they werent and alarm had been triggered and I disconnected positive cable quickly to shut off after finding keys I...

Sounds like something lost programming or maybe the positive wire touched the negative terminal by accident and shorted something out. Do you have an aftermarket alarm or remote starter?

Will not start, battery is new, it just clicks and nothing. turn it off, try again and nothing, try again and it starts

Try cleaning and tightening well the battery connections along with the battery wires to the solenoid and starter motor.

Bad connections and low voltage of 12 volts can result in this anomaly.

My '03 Stang GT won't start. I turn the key and nothing. It has 30g miles, and a friend said it is probably a fuse, not the battery. A jump start did not help. Any ideas?

I believe those vehicles have a spade terminal on the starter it has a plastic square covering on it grab it and wiggle it and pull and push it than try to start those connectors get corroded and dirty!

This morning tried to start my 03 sierra 1500, i opened the driver door cab lights came on, put key into the ignition turned the key and the lights went out and the truck would not even crank nothing....

Try jump starting it. I suspect your battery is dead. After time they don't hold a charge as deep as they once did. Have it load tested to verify. Your lights and other options don't draw nearly what your starter needs.

03 chev s 10 pickup no start -turn the key get lights stereo fuel pump everything But the starter-have to turn the key back and forth until it finally starts except one time ten minutes of nothing gave up...

I'd start with battery cables. (Hear me out) Lights and other accessories draw minimal amps whereas your starter draws 100s of amps. Your battery cables, especially the bottom ends are exposed to grease and grime which causes resistance. By turning key multiple times you actually heat cables up and they expand making better contact. That would be my first thing to look at. You very well could have bad starter & solenoid but I'd start w/cables. Clean them with a good stiff wire brush.

Cold temps starter will not turn over the engine

I had same problem with my 03 jetta. I replaced battery to better cca and it did nothing. Each shop I went to had no idea. My friend who is a car guy installed a push button start. He told me his audi did the same thing and that it worked on that car as well. He said something like in the cold something condenses and shrinks and it won't spark, I know nothing about cars, so I can find out exactly what he did if you want. I do know that it works great and the parts were like 15 bucks total.
