Hi all,

Getting ready to head out this morning and noticed that when I place the key in the ignition and turn, there was nothing. No sound, no click, no attempt to start over, nothing. Now, I didn't have any issues the last day I drove (Tuesday afternoon) nor did I notice a low level on the meter when driving it. After trying a few times, I noticed the following:

• Clicking sound when the key is in the ignition in "start". This sound seems confined to the fuse box area

• After every-so-many attempts I'll get one click when turning the key over. Never more than one.

• Only lights on the panel are SES and battery, which flickers.

• No headlights, and the interior light is incredibly dim.

• No windows/radio/turn signals

• The "door open" sound is random.

Normally I would think it's the battery, but I'm not exactly sure here. 2002 Blazer. Any help appreciated.

 

What is the battery voltage? Should be ~12.5V.

 

Sorry for not getting back on this one. It was the battery. Volts were under 9. I was worried about it being the alternator because of the manner everything was working/not working, so swaped it out, good to go. Although I did notice the SES light is now blinking (it was on, but never blinked) but I haven't had a chance to run it down to get codes read. Is this a normal thing when batteries completely die?

Either way, thanks, and I'll have the codes and in a proper thread placement in the morning.
