Four problems related to car will not start have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
One by one things have been going out and not working. First the car would not start all the time with the key, then the a/c stoped working, next was the fuel pump, then the injectors. I checked everything it could be. I was driving with my kids down the highway when my car just died lost power steering so it was hard to get off the road fast. I got it started and was driving and it did it again. I was able to finally get it home when it would not start again. After some research online found out this car has issues with the fuse box itself under the hood. I opened it up just to find the wording that connected the pins was broken in numerous places and had started to burn up in the box.

5 months after I purchased my 2003 chevy Trailblazer I went out to start the car and it would not start. I took the car to the dealer the first time for this problem and various others and was told they could not replicate the problem. I replaced the battery and the car worked for approximately another 5 months and the same occurred. On both occasions the key was locked in the ignition and attempts at jump starting the vehicle failed multiple times. Since the second time happened this morning I have yet to take it to the dealer. This car also has various other electrical problems sometimes the radio goes blank and gets stuck on one station as well as getting extremely hot (was told they could not replicate all of the problems but reprogrammed the radio so it would not get as hot). The dvd player just stops working (was told they could not replicate the problem). The blower motor for the rear air works sometimes and other times it doesn't (this was apparently fixed once already). The reverse lights stay on when the car is in drive (just happened last weekend). Shall I go on?.
