You may be right, I had the same problem and I changed the ignition switch today and that solved the problems.

You put your left foot in.
You put your left foot out.
You do the hokey pokey.
And turn yourself about.
And that’s how you turn on the truck.

Yes I'm home probably a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo all I can come around is my check engine light 10 seconds later all the gas lights are flash on and go right off what could be my problem

I’m having the same problem but no light on my dash is coming in but all the other lights are on far as the lights

[belosadity]

So what im trying to see could the ignition switch gears be the issue because my dash cluster shows the battery light instead of security. & also the PRNDL, gas gauge and coolant temp doesn’t function correctly. i was going to try to move the gears. because my key was getting stuck

Robert -how did you release the white clip (with brown/green wire) from ignition cylinder?

[richardparker]

[OjinglesavageO]

I have an interesting problem with my 2000 Suburban, related to what you're doing here. I live in Northern Minnesota, so anytime we get below about -7 degrees, I cannot start my vehicle. The key turns just fine, but in the sequence, I s-l-o-w-l-y turn the key past the "on" position (dashboard and ignition lights come on), then all power and lights shut off, then the starter motor turns the engine over. The problem lies in that I can run that starter all I want, but the vehicle won't start, because the ignition circuit is not active. I do not believe it to be the keylock itself (although I am going to replace that at the same time), but rather that there is something loose in the electronic switch mechanism itself. Right now, everything works fine (with one exception), as it is approaching 60 degrees. But my new problem is that I cannot get the radio to send audio to the amplifiers! (In short, I know it's not the radio itself, as a different radio did the same thing when plugged in.) But I am of the opinion that this problem also stems from the switching circuitry, as the vehicle is designed to cut out the radio when cranking the engine. Does this sound plausible, that I will need to replace the switch circuitry? Thanks in advance.

So I just got the cylinder fixed. It turns everything on, but doesn’t start the truck.

My truck turns on and everything but it won’t go back to off position basically engine off but not the truck I can lower the window 😢 it stays and drains my battery

Please help 🙏
