Not sure if you can help

Something with the battery? Maybe the alternator... I recently had to replace my alternator and fuel pump, not fun. When the alternator went bad it wouldn't even make a sound when I tried to start it, none of the electronics or light would work, and the battery wouldn't charge. Of course it is a 1994 Chevy S10 xD

It's not the alternator, I don't think it is the fuel pump just because when I turn the car to 'on' none of the gauges would work, and they should at least read fluid levels even if the fuel pump isn't working, I also own an '88 chevy s-10, love it. lol of course there's alot of work into it and turning it into a show truck.

This all started within the last week?

I'd say a bad ground. grounds can cause ALL kinds of problems.

That's what I thought, but I don't know a ground that would connect to all of these problems.

I'm wondering if it isn't your computer??? It doesn't make sense that all that stuff doesn't work, but your car will turn on. If it were your battery it wouldn't turn on at all.

It could also explain why stuff slowly started going down hill rather than all at once. I had a 1990 Geo Tracker and everything electronic stopped working one by one-not that it had that many power things The computer was shot.

Ya I think it's the computer too, because I was just playing with it, and everything was working perfectly fine again, then started to drive it just to play around with it, everything started freaking out, gauges flipping out and all that good stuff.

Reset the on-board computer. You can find out how to do that from google. See if that helps. If not, check all your fuses and battery.

I check all my fuses and relays, everything is fine. I already tried reseting the computer, I think the computer is shot.

too bad your dash lights don't work - anything like a cam sensor or O2 sensor should throw a code.

See if you can borrow a code reader from Autozone - most electrical/sensor problems will show up.

here's a question - do your hazards work?

The dash lights do work, but the sensor to turn them on when I open the door isn't working. Yes, the hazards work.


When I got it running, I took it straight to the dealership and left it overnight to wait for them to open tomorrow. I didn't want to wait till tomorrow morning and find out it wasn't going to start again. Thank you for all the advice guys =]
