yes. the neutral safety switch is connected to all of them.
No, it has nothing to do with the transmission.
Try putting the key in the ignition and taking out quickly, and or lubricate the ignition lock mechanism. it worked for me.
Try replacing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). It's held in place on the side of the transmission by a single bolt and it has a single electrical connection. I had the same problem, and this cleared it up instantly!
no the transmission and the ignition system are two unrelated parts
NO, there is no coalition between the ignition switch and the transmission. The ignition switch does 2 things. Turns on power to the electrical system for the engine and supplies power to the starter during start-up.
I suppose that it would depend on the transmission used. I have a 1992 G30 (slowly falling apart with 251,000 miles on it) with the 4L-80 E Transmission (heavy duty 4 speed electronically controlled auto). There are two speed sensors, both on the left (driver's)side of the transmission. Both have a two-wire connector. The input speed sensor is located towards the front of the tranny, and the vehicle speed sensor is located towards the back. The input speed sensor measures the transmission's input speed (i.e. the rate that the engine is turning the input to the transmission) while the vehicle speed sensor is used for measuring the vehicles speed (i.e. the rate at which the rear wheels are turning). Its signal is also used for the speedometer - there is no speedometer cable going to the speedometer. Mine is currently busted - transmission won't upshift and speedometer reads 0. Replaced the sensor to no avail. Someone suggested that I check the ignition switch, as part of it might be broken. In general we have had a lot of problems with the electronics on this van, including wiring and connectors failing. Good luck with yours. Richard Rea
it means variable vavle timing or transmission ignition.
The 1997 Blazer came with a 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission. This transmission is electronically controlled, which is particularly good to know when dealing with the 1997 year model. The 1997 Blazers are known to develop faulty connections in the electrical ignition switch that can interrupt the power to the transmission. When this occurs, it makes it seem as though the transmission has gone bad, when in fact the ignition switch is the real culprit.
Some symptoms of a bad speed sensor are a speedometer that does not work or stops, a vehicle losing power unexpectedly, rumbling or idling of the vehicle, and transmission problems when trying to shift gears. The sensor has many functions in a vehicle, including ignition timing, fuel regulation, and the operation of cruise control.
ignition switch under dash will cause preimpted failure if kicked out sequence with key starting rod.
It might have. If it's an electric fuel pump odds are it won't run unless the ignition is on.
