Engine shut off while driving and will not restart

Hi,

That doesn't sound like an anti-theft problem. Does anything electrical work?

Let me know.

All lights, radio and all works. No fuel pump, no turning over.

Hi,

I need you to check three fuses. In addition to checking the fuse condition, confirm there is power to them. Here is a link to help with that:

See pics below for fuse identification and location. I highlighted the ones to check in the under hood fuse box.

Let me know.

Joe

There is power going to 34 and 22 and not to 17.

Hi,

Fuse 17 is the crank fuse. It should have power when the key is in the start position. You will need a helper. Or, have you already checked it that way?

Joe

I want to thank you guys for the help. After doing what you guys have posted and nothing was working. I was doing some more checking and come to find out it was it was the ignition switch. It's weird how a part like the ignition switch can act so much like something else and be so much of a pain in the rear. thanks again for the help.

Hi,

Glad to hear you got it figured out. Yes, they can be a pain. LOL

Please feel free to come back in the future if you have questions.

Take care,
Joe

Danny-

Good evening. I am having a similar issue with my 2006 trailblazer. I was driving and the engine died. I tried to restart it but nothing. I did however notice that my key chime isn't making noise, so I wonder if that has anything to do with my issue. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,

Are you sure the battery is charged? If the alternator wasn't charging, driving would drain the battery.

Do me a favor. Try this little test at home:

Let me know.

Joe

Battery is charged and I even swapped a red top optima to double check.

Also, there is no chime noise with the key turned forward. Not sure if that is relevant.

Hi,

I suspect it is a very similar issue to the original post. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to start a new thread. We try to keep the threads specific to one type of vehicle. In this case, you are a year newer.

We do this so it is more helpful to others. I truly hope you understand. Simply copy and paste the posts you have already made to this link, and someone will be happy to jump on it for you.

Take care,
