Ignition switch replacement of my girl's 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer. I hope the video is informative and helps people out. I plan to continue to post videos of various repairs that I do at home. I am a retired ASE Master Tech & ASE Service Consultant.

Thanks for the video. I've been trying to figure out how to get the cover off my trailblazer so I could replace the switch. Your video makes it easy to understand.

Well done Ron… Ive been a certified technician for over 40 years, but no one knows how to replace parts on every type of vehicle on the road today like it was in the early 60s and your video told me everything I needed to know. Thank you

This is the best, clearest explanation I found on the Web, for replacing a Trailblazer ignition switch. Having just done it on my own '02, I got to learn the importance of matching the position of the gear sprockets on the new one to the old one that's coming out. Ron explains this but I would add the suggestion that you make a mark with a magic marker or something on a sprocket or two of the old one as soon as its out. Then, you can easily click the new one into the same position.The gear controls contacts inside the switch and there are four possible positions they can be in. I didn't do the match-up too well at first and ended up having to take the switch back out a couple times because I was off on that gear position and, for example, the accessories came on as soon as I reconnected the battery on the first try! It took some trial and error but, in time, I got it right. I don't think all my guessing caused any harm but it was a waste of time that I could have avoided!

Thank you Ron, I had a reveling look at what the dealership I just went to will probably try to do it to me, I turned 80 this past year and now eventhough I am a retired trucker/rancher everyone treats me like I've lossed all my marbles. Happy trails to you and all our friends in the south.P

Thanks for saying so. When I ran shops, I always wanted to make it easy for my customers to understand the problem and the fix. I involved them so they could be educated about their own vehicles.

The Envoy is even faster! You don't need to remove the knee panels first to get to the bottom half of the column! Meanwhile on 1A Auto they're taking apart the cluster bezel and everything too :P

Ron , your video was very well done . My only question is what indications did the Trailblazer have to be the switch? I just replaced the battery however even though all indicators lights come on and sounds it clicks once while turning ignition on. 02 Trailblazer LT 275,000 miles , been a great car!

Now what if your key is stuck in the accessory position and will not turn to off to get the key out. And the golden button doesn’t work to release it?

My new battery dies every day. It starts right up when I jump it so I believe I do have a short, my question is, do I have to jump the vehicle first and then shut it off? or is it OK with it not starting. Thanks for this great video.

Hey ron. So i'm trying to figure out if this is the problem. The vehicle starts up fine.Most of the time that sometimes it just doesn't start but the lights do all go on a dashboard and it'll start shortly after

Well done Ron….just one question we replaced it and still periodically doesn’t start and I still keep turning key when I turn key harder eventually starts could it be teeth are not correct.Would it hurt if I tried to turn teeth a few times til we had the teeth in the right position

Could this be the solution if my ignition locked forward even after the ignition cylinder has been replaced?
