'01 Blazer won't start (intermittent problem)
I turn the key all dash lights come on but will not start (makes no sound at all). Lights don't dim at all when the key is turned. After a while (could be 2min or 2hrs) it'll start without any problem whatsoever. Never a clicking sound or sound of a struggling starter. It either starts up immediately or won't make a sound.
Newer battery. I checked the charge when it started and appears the battery and charging system are fine.
Any ideas? Thanks for any info.

Possible ignition switch contacts are bad

Another vote for the ignition switch. There is a circuit specifically for the starter. Check out the link in my signature for an article that I wrote on that subject.

Thanks for the replies.
Great article on the switch. Is there a way to test it before replacement to confirm it is the problem?
