Need help!!!

[Biggershaft96]

My 96 chevy 4x4 5.7 wont start. It died on my way to work goin down the road. It has no spark or fuel. the weird part is when i turn the key into the run position none of the idiot lights (abs,check engine, etc) come on like they would if you turn the key without starting the engine. The truck will still crank though. Also the windows wont roll up or down. The truck is all stock wirinig wise. Need help asap

It sounds like one of the fuseable links burned. But I think GM did away with them. There are some fuses under the cover on the firewall. Also check the bulkhead where the power goes into the cab. it might be corroded and not powering the ignition. Really hard to tell without the truck being here. Sorry.

Fuses, grounds, PCM.

I have literally checked every single fuse. The bulkhead had a little corrosion so i went ahead and cleanded it. The only thing left i can think of is the pcm or the ignition switch but whats the likelyhood of either failing while going down the road?

Try the connection on the wire that runs from the battery positive terminal to the fuse box by the master cylinder. The connection on mine was very slightly corroded at the fuse box and causing all grades of problems.

Be sure to double check all your battery and main power connections along with all the grounds.

My only other thought is ignition switch or PCM (but those rarely go bad out of nowhere)

Well its outta my hands now. Thanks for all the help. Finally got frusterated and took it to the chevy garage after i got all excited when i found a broken ground strap back by the distributor, and there was bare wire goin to the knock sensor fixed those, still nothing so i just took it in.

Well im getting the truck back today. It turned out to be the ignition switch. The chevy garage also said my cap rotor and plugs were shot. I think they just wanted some extra money on those cause they were just changed about 8000 miles ago, but anyway just figured id let everone know what the culprate ended up being. Just glad its gonna be back home and running like a champ. Thanks for the help.

Damn, glad you got it going.

Glad it's fixed. Cap and Rotors get burned up rather quickly if they are cheap ones. Might not be a bad idea to at least check them.
