I have a '95 blazer 4.3L and have had some problems past two weeks with it. Replaced the battery, dist. cap, plugs and was running fine until today. I started it up this morning fine, went a couple blocks away shut off the engine and when I went to start it, I just get one click and no turn over. Anyone else have this happen?

 

check and make sure you are getting good contact at the battery. could be just a loose wire.

 

that same thing started hapening to me after i went with a new batery lie the pther person chech the connections my ground on the batery was loose and it clicked then nothing but put on new treminals and has stared fine ever sence

 

the same thing happened to me

i knew that the battery was dead but i was advised by my parents to bring it to the mechanics anyway so i did

turned out the alternator was bad so i had to get a new alternator

so your battery might not be recharging while the car is turned on which is why it took a little to die

i am no car expert but that is my guess

get your alternator checked out

 

I did take out the new battery and checked the charge @ o'riellys and it is still fully charged, checked/cleaned the terminal connections again and still nothing but just a click when trying to start.

 

The starter might be the problem. maybe a solenoid.

 

I'm tryin that next, thanks. What's the best way to get to the starter? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

from underneath... 2 bolts and a bunch of wires on the solonoid.

make sure you check *both* ends of the battery cables. make sure the ground is attached to the truck well. i had that problem a few weeks ago, was screwing around with batteries and whatnot when i found the ground cable had come loose from the engine block!

 

Yea i'm havin some problems getting the starter out now, took the two bolts out, went through the wheel well and got one of the wires to the silenoid but cant get to the other 2 wires. I've tried dropping it down as far as possible.. no luck, tried twisting and turning and still no luck. Any suggestions on what I can do?? Please help I need it fixed before it rains. Luckily its been nice so I've been riding the motorcycle.

Thanks!!
