- Ignition switch replacement of my girl's 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer. I hope the video is informative and helps people out. I plan to continue to post videos of various repairs that I do at home. I am a retired ASE Master Tech & ASE Service Consultant.
Excellent video, Very clear to understand. Looking forward to more.
Well done Ron… Ive been a certified technician for over 40 years, but no one knows how to replace parts on every type of vehicle on the road today like it was in the early 60s and your video told me everything I needed to know. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I've been trying to figure out how to get the cover off my trailblazer so I could replace the switch. Your video makes it easy to understand.
I just want to say thank you so much for the video I was able to get mine done literally within about 10 minutes only
Great video, good clear explanation.
Awesome video 😮
This is the best, clearest explanation I found on the Web, for replacing a Trailblazer ignition switch. Having just done it on my own '02, I got to learn the importance of matching the position of the gear sprockets on the new one to the old one that's coming out. Ron explains this but I would add the suggestion that you make a mark with a magic marker or something on a sprocket or two of the old one as soon as its out. Then, you can easily click the new one into the same position.The gear controls contacts inside the switch and there are four possible positions they can be in. I didn't do the match-up too well at first and ended up having to take the switch back out a couple times because I was off on that gear position and, for example, the accessories came on as soon as I reconnected the battery on the first try! It took some trial and error but, in time, I got it right. I don't think all my guessing caused any harm but it was a waste of time that I could have avoided!
This was explained really well that even I believe I can change it myself. With being a female. Thank you Ron
Thanks for saying so. When I ran shops, I always wanted to make it easy for my customers to understand the problem and the fix. I involved them so they could be educated about their own vehicles.
Thank you Ron, I had a reveling look at what the dealership I just went to will probably try to do it to me, I turned 80 this past year and now
eventhough I am a retired trucker/rancher everyone treats me like I've lossed all my marbles. Happy trails to you and all our friends
in the south.P
Like it. I'm replacing the same switch on my 2006 Tahoe.
Thank you for this video, your tempo of explaination is easy to understand! Thank again Robert😀
This is my 3rd time doing this and I still need to watch it done. The same with coils. Multiple misfire. Otherwise it's a good car
its -4 and I was not looking forward to figuring this out in a snow storm. just what i needed and my truck was started and back on the road within 15 min. just what i needed.
Ron your video was the best one I found for this job, great video, thanks!
Perfect vid just got my 03 done thank ya so much!
Thanks Ron . . . Easy to understand "how to" video
Worked very well, only problem I had was the dash was hard to pull down other than that so much better than others I have seen.
Very well done sir, especially for your first video. Kudos.
Well done Ron
Thanks for the video. Even I will be able to change my ignition switch.
Good job amigo thank you for share your video I appreciate your time
Great job Ron.
Great video.
Thank you.
Very helpful 👌 thanks
I lined up the teeth to what I thought was exact the same,I'm pretty Technical since I do hvac and car repairs for 30yrs...we noticed the envoy stereo always seem to be powered on...was.a tooth off or something...thanks
The Envoy is even faster! You don't need to remove the knee panels first to get to the bottom half of the column! Meanwhile on 1A Auto they're taking apart the cluster bezel and everything too :P
Ron , your video was very well done . My only question is what indications did the Trailblazer have to be the switch? I just replaced the battery however even though all indicators lights come on and sounds it clicks once while turning ignition on. 02 Trailblazer LT 275,000 miles , been a great car!
Thank you very much
Very good ! I do have a question regarding a ignition problem on my 2002 trailblazer. Frustrated with it.
Thx that save me a lot of money
Well done thanks
My new battery dies every day. It starts right up when I jump it so I believe I do have a short, my question is, do I have to jump the vehicle first and then shut it off? or is it OK with it not starting. Thanks for this great video.
Now what if your key is stuck in the accessory position and will not turn to off to get the key out. And the golden button doesn’t work to release it?
appreciate it my man
Ty Ron
Well done Ron….just one question we replaced it and still periodically doesn’t start and I still keep turning key when I turn key harder eventually starts could it be teeth are not correct.Would it hurt if I tried to turn teeth a few times til we had the teeth in the right position
Could this be the solution if my ignition locked forward even after the ignition cylinder has been replaced?
Hey ron. So i'm trying to figure out if this is the problem. The vehicle starts up fine.Most of the time that sometimes it just doesn't start but the lights do all go on a dashboard and it'll start shortly after
This video will work if my key is stuck on the on position with setting the gears?
Would this be the problem,if the key is hard to turn and no start.over head lights seem dim like bad connection at battery..or could this switch do that also..thanks
I already liked your video but could you upload videos in Spanish to see them from Mexico? Please
What to do if teeth are not lined up exactly as the original switch??
I replaced my switch, them replaced it again with plastic teeth exactly the same as the old one (again) and now my battery light is on while parked. Any ideas ?
We have an 08 Chevy trailblazer no start no crank and it doesn't make no sound when you turn the key its got a new battery new alternator new starter the battery light comes on the dash and the gear shift is stuck in park what's wrong with it
Less talkie more workie.
Battery light and stereo stayed on after I was done
How do I know if the old one is lined up right if that's what could be the problem the teeth wrong🫶💚
I'm in desperate need for this ACDelco part but it's not in stock anywhere I look online. If anyone could give me a link to the part if you've found It, It would be appreciated
