Starting problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello. I am new here. I have a 2001 GMC Sonoma ZR2 4.3L V6 4WD Automatic. A week ago I tried to start my truck not long after getting home from work. I heard the starter for less than a second and nothing. I tried again and nothing happened. The gauges and dash lights worked but the starter would not turn over at all. I eventually come across a 10 amp fuse in the engine compartment that was labeled crank. I replaced the fuse and my truck started right up. Twice during the following week the dash lights that normally light up when starting my truck came on while driving. They went out after a couple of seconds both times. Today I drove somewhere and when I was ready to leave, the fuse blew again. This time when I replaced the fuse, it blew again before starting as soon as I turned the key. I had only one spare fuse left but it is a 25 amp fuse. I tried it and my truck then started. But now it lacked power when taking off from a stop, the only gauges that worked were the battery voltage gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The service engine soon light came on and has not went out. I bought more 10 amp fuses and replaced the 25 amp fuse which did not blow. Nor has the new 10 amp fuse blown again, but my starter won't turn over and the only dash light that comes on is the service engine soon light. Could this be an ignition switch problem?
