I had the same problems happening with my p.o.s. 97 chevy blazer. My car would just shut off while driving it, or have a delay to being able to start it up while it was sitting. When I would stick the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position the dash cluster would sometimes not turn on and I wouldn't get the bell chime that you usually get. Then you wait about five seconds and the chime would go off and the lights would come on and then you could start the car.
Well now I have a new problem.
*The lights in my dash like "check engine light" etc. will not come on at all.
* My daytime running lamps are not coming on
* When driving the car and turning on the regular headlights the chime goes off and does the same constant beep that it does when you have left your lights on with the car in the off position ( I think the car thinks it is not on and running, something is causing this stuff to not get power, a switch or harness somewhere. idk )
* My battery is now not getting a charge.
* My speedometer is now at 110 m.p.h. and is stuck there
* All gauges in the car are not working... fuel battery etc.
All of these symtoms happened all together at the same time. I was driving down the freeway and the chime went off... the car runs fine it just seems that it doens't know that it is on. I have now replaced the ignition switch and the keylock cylinder.. if anybody knows what else I should do PLEASE PLEASE reply to this thread.. thank you. I am now totally lost.
