Greetings All, My name is Sam I own a 1999 Tahoe LS 4x4 with the 5.7L. My goal is to restore my truck to a super nice condition, and I feel I have a long way to go. My current situation with it i'm having a real pain in the ass ignition problem!!!! I have searched and search the net but found nothing on any forum that fits my problem so here goes..... When I turn the key to the first position I have all my Transmission gear indicator lights on and can move the shifter through each one.....Once I turn the key the next click to start the gear indicator lights go out and I get no crank. I have replaced the following...Neutral safety switch, Ignition Cylinder and housing with new keys, Ignition wiring harness (in the collum) And of course I checked all the fuses and relays. I'm sure I'm going to hear something about the passlock security, my security light is not on, it comes one with all the other lights when I turn the key but goes out as it should. It did this last year but after it sat for a week, the gear indicator came on and it started. I drove it for a while until it did it again, now its stuck like this.....PLEASE HELP!!!!!

You need to read the trouble codes. The Tech 2 is/was the factory code reader. There are also after market clones available.

The Tech-2 was the dealer level scan tool your vehicle was designed to be worked on with. That and a copy of the shop manual's trouble shooting guide and you can get after this quickly and accurately without throwing parts at it and wasting precious time.
