I have the same year (97) and model Blazer (LT) as you, and i was having the same problem as you. Mostly the idiot lights not lighting up intermittently and stalling. Now i cant get her to run this time and it looks like i have to use my free day off monday to fix her ( sigh ) Was hoping i could get some information from you or anyone on the forum. This other website i was browsing for the ignition switch says i need to have it coded at the dealership....Did you have to? Also what is the detailed description of the bad part? i.e. Ignition Switch module?, lock cylinder?! (any part numbers would be highly appreciated) And what was the price you payed so i can know a ballpark range for it. Im just scared ill get the wrong part and not fix the problem. Thanks a ton for any help. Also this forum is by far the best. Good answered questioned and not just assumtions.

I will venture to this sight often to help others with problems ive encountered as well.

Hey Bud, I never had to have it coded. Not sure whats thats all about. Use the thread i did. Its an awesome guide. Its a ingniton switch that goes in the steering colum. its a black box with a wiring harness that goes down the steering shaft into a plug under the dash. I try to get you a picture but i am pretty busy over the next week. I paid $100 canadian my price cant remember off hand what the real price was. I will try to get you some more info on it. See if you can get a hold of Gabe25 he knows his stuff. He Helped me TONS!!!

Ok, i got mine replaced and it was fairly easy. Hardest part was finding the e4 torx socket. I looked all over town and not one place had it. didnt find one at sears, auto zone, advance, any hardware store, etc. I got lucky and was abled to find a snap-on truck. $14, i would be mad but when you need it you NEED it. It was soo self explanatory. Just remember to disable the air bag. That would suck to have that thing go off. And thanks again to all the people that have posted the advice and walkthroughs, saved my life!!

Hey I got busy with work and forget to get you pics. Sorry!!! It sounds like you made it without. lol Yea its easy with the walk thru. I would have never been able to do it without it. The whole air bag deal had me scared to death. The whole time I was waiting for the wack in the head. Good to hear another fix has been completed.

No worries about the pictures man.....just glad i had this website to look at.

And for all other future Ignition replacements i have a picture of it, it really helps the parts guys figure out the part, considering there are like 30 parts with the word ignition in the database.
