The only way I know how to thank you is on here. NO ONE got this problem right, I was told BCM, PCM, A-C blower module etc. My cruise quit first, then my a-c, then my temp gauge. I checked grounds and fuses out the wazoo and traced wires till I was seeing double. What made it more strange was, some of these accessories would be on/off, a-c (when) it worked, was only on high but would drop out. I bumped the key with my knee and the a-c came on/off. Called my nephew in Tn. (works for NAPA, asked if it could be the ignition switch, he said yes, I'm in La. Found your video (the ONLY one) with detail I needed. This was a level 8 diff for me but thanks to you and your video, it's all working as it should. I could have spent a fortune on this one WITHOUT getting fixed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I have a 2000 s10 the key turns freely in ignition and when you turn it to the on position its good and all lights accesorries work but beyond that it doesn't have that last bit of spring to crank the vehicle. From what I see its just lock cylinder to the housing to the ignition switch wich ive replaced lock cylinder and it did not fix it. Also I can pull the ignition switch and crank it by turning the gear by hand just not with it inserted and by turning the key

This is awesome. My 1998 Jimmy has had the exact same problem for over a year. BUT. Mine is intermittent. But, same thing when it messes up. No spark till letting off the ignition. Gonna grab a new switch today. I have already replaced the coil, ignition control module, crank trigger, entirely new distributor with all the guts including cap and rotor, the plugs, wires, and ground cables. Now if you could tell me how to make my gauges quit doing the macarena.

Thanks for a great video Eric. I replaced mine this past weekend in a 98 s-10. After I still had a no start. Found the problem rite before dark. The switch had No Ground to it. I found if I ground the Brown wire on the ignition switch, it would then start. Need to check and make sure the Brown is the actual ground wire for the switch. Present diagrams are short of this information.

We seem to have the same problem with our 2001 Jimmy, but she will start after many tries, unless the battery dies. When we fully charge up the battery it will start right up. But then we go through the same problem in a week or so, sometimes longer. It has been doing this for 5 years. What do you think?
