I am taking a body/paint class at the Community College. I just sprayed my Blazer top with a polyester Primer to smooth out the fraying fiberglass. Its still very wet here where I live, and the primer is not quite ready for sanding. I'll get some pics so I can show off my handy work when I finish.

While I was trouble shooting my starter relay issue, I opened the GP control card case to clean the contacts. I sprayed the contacts that grab the card; but felt they needed better cleaning than Electrical contact cleaner spray could provide from one angle. Here is what I did: My daughters are...

Take it to a starter shop and have them take a look. Worse case is they rebuild it to fit, or sell you the 28MT starter you need. Then clean and sell (after testing) the old one on ebay for some relief on the cost of the right starter.

Marty G, that looks good. Was it hard to do? I have never done any kind of lift; but that does give it something alright.

Received a roll of Tygon to replace the injector lines. Also soldered in a diode on my starter relay. Until I can figure out why my relay sticks sometimes until I give it a whack, it couldn't hurt.

Djfreema, How did you bolt through the top into your rack? Isn't the top double layered? What hardware- bolts, washers, neoprene? did you use?

That's what I was thinking, the relay is getting stuck. I remember reading about the relay terminals slamming back under big loads and how some members were promoting the idea of soldering in a diode to absorb the kickback. I have some left over from when my horn diode blew, so I got nothing to...

dstang97, Good question. I pulled mine yesterday to clean it. It is stamped 1986, so it looks like ****. The IC leads look a little rusty; but they are all in place. My Blazer is starting again; but sometimes it needs me to tap the starter relay to wake the bugger up. I don't know if this is GP...

So I have started my Blazer another 6 or so times, then click. I was unhappy; but I know I alone have to fix it, so no crying. I tapped the relay- still hanging from the dash. Turn the key- starts right up another 6 times so far. What the heck?

Hey antennaclimber, according to the post above, if a guy chooses the AC GP over the Wellman plug. The WAIT light cycles is too short. Can you reprogram a version of your GP cards for longer cycle times? "IT... COULD... WORK!" -Dr. Frodorick Fronkonsteen . . . ...

With no issues right now on the vehicle. I think it is the right time to try the Doghead mod. take a pic, in case you have to replace the current relay. Install all four wires per the Mod. Fire it up. If it runs as expected, then you are back in business with piece of mind that the new relay...

I GOT IT STARTED! after scanning the TMs for glow plug ideas. I decided it was time to pull the card and clean the terminals and connection points. I also pulled the wink wire from the IP. I followed the test procedures: Pull the Pink IP wire, Pull the card and follow the protocol for testing...

I have been reading all related threads about NO START conditions due to: Bad Starter/Solenoid. Bad Starter relays Bad Glow Plug Relay Bad Glow Plug modules I keep getting two things out of them: 1. People describe hearing a "cooking, "sizzling, burning sound, akin to bacon frying before...

I don't know if they can be tested. I'll put a new one in tomorrow.

SGT Estum, I have tried three new relays already, I don't believe in that kind of bad luck. I am now trying to figure out the Purple with white stripe circuit. The latest twist is that when I fry to start the Blazer, I hear a click and a chirp from under the dash- about where the voltage meter...

rchalmers3, Yes it cranks if I jump the wire from the RED starter relay post to the PURPLE post. I just put a new Starter Relay in. I know: The Starter Relay (SR) is getting 24V The PURPLE post on the SR is not being energized when the key is turned. The SR ground is sound as I have added a...

Southdave, I checked the ground on this circuit. I even added an extra ground to the starter at the support bracket. It seems the relay is not working right because the purple post does not get energized when the key is turned. I think I'll go pull the steering wheel and have a look at this...

Old thread I know; but I hate to find threads with no posted resolution, even if they resolved it by a gas can and pack of matches :wink: Could this be an ignition switch problem? I see someone posted that the wires at the key switch were corroded. I'd like to hear from the OP.

Could it be the relay is bad? Its a new one from NAPA?... But then again, it is ok for the first few starts. Could it be the BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH?

More testing. Disconnected the purple wire from the relay: 1.Purple relay post does not get any power when key is ON. 2. Purple lead- disconnected, is showing a ground.
