As the title says, I have a 95 Blazer and was driving the other day at a steady speed and suddenly it went dead. Fuse #10 blows every time I turn the key. The crank position plug was pretty wet with oil/gunk so I cleaned it all off and left it unplugged; tried the key- fuse blew. I left it unplugged and unplugged the ignition control module on the bracket with the coil but left the coil wire plugged in; turned the key and the fuse didn't blow. Of course the 95 seems to have an oddball of a module because no one can seem to test it and I can't afford to throw a 125 dollar part at the problem. I've had ignition modules go bad on other vehicles and it's always a progressive thing; not a sudden internal short. Has anyone ever heard of this happening or did I change the behavior of the short by unplugging it(wild goose chase). I think my cheapest fix is to hit a junk yard and get one to see if it starts before buying a new one. Any ideas?

 

I've had ignition modules go bad internmently as well as all at once, junkyard would be my thought

 

That was my thought, junkyard for 10 bucks or so and if it starts then get a new one since I always have bad luck with electronics from a yard.

 

Sounds good, good luck.
