Hi there
first ,,english is not the common language i use,, so ,,parden me for any wrong terms or false grammar !
My Car 97'er Chevy Blazer ( Canada Import )
a few days ago my car came up with several signs like ,,,flickering 4 WD lights for a few seconds at another day during driving the speedometer went down and came up ,,,and in the Final ,,,i want to Start the Engine ,,,and it came up with nothing ,,,the Engine did not start !
more Information
the Car has a TEC-TUS 1 Immobilizer !
Startup Procedur ,,,,deactivate the Immobilizer and than start the Engine ,at this Point i came to the conclusion that the Immob is down and has a malfunction ,,,so i rebuild the wiring and removed the Immobilizer ,,,,( during removal ,,,the Batt was not connected ) !
The Test was ok ,,,the Engine started up and i was the Master of the Universe ,,,,for 10 Minutes
!!!
The next Time i want to start up the Engine ,,,nothing !!!
ok ,,,could be a Fuse ,,checked the Fuses at the Fuses Bay ,,,,all are ok !
the Fuel Pump is working ( checked at the Terminal )
the Fuel Pump Relay ( checked ,,,ok )
Measuring the Wiring at the Ignition Switch ,,,and i found the Pink Link is not Hot !
To test the Function ,,,i get a hot wire (+) and connected it with the Pink Wire ,,,,and i started the Engine !!
My Conclusion now ,,,to get the Engine running ,,to put a Switch between
(+) and the Pink Wire !
the Ignition Switch has 5 Positions
ACC
Lock
Off
On
Start ---in this Position the Starter fails ,,,and i only make it running when i put (+) on the Pink Wire !
so far ,,,,,i came to the Conclusion that the Ignition Starter is down !
is this right ,,,,,or are they other mystical things ????
btw. i am not are Car Mechanic ,,,, i am just a user of a nice Car !!

I agree, faulty ignition switch. Faulty ignition switches are common on 1997. Very good English too...my German is not so good!

Yep, that thread will guide you through it all. There are other tech articles that will help as well. The book method of replacement is posted along with the passlock relearn procedure.
