1995 is very different from previous years, doesn't use the same ignition switch, harness, nada. First year for new column. Also first year for new electrical convenience center under the hood, which has two positive battery cables. One goes down to your starter, the other comes across the core support to the electrical center. Check the connection at the battery that it hasn't worked its way loose, and that there's no corrosion, especially in between those two cable ends.I have similar/same issue. 95 C1500 4.3, bone stock.
Yesterday everything was fine, this morning go to start up and get one tiny click, then zippy.
Fuel and oil pressure gauge pegged past full/80 lbs. radio works, blower motor and wipers do not, nor does interior cab light. If I turn blower motor speed knob, oil pressure gauge bounces. Moving wiper speed does nothing. Headlights full on and when moving key to crank nothing changes, no dim, flicker, etc. my multimeter is not handy currently.
Based on what I’ve read thus far….it APPEARS like the ignition switch took a dump.
Again, yesterday everything was working as normal.
Thoughts?
Edit - forgot to mention that after the initial tiny starter click, there’s nothing now, not the faintest hint of power getting to the starter solenoid. I’ve dealt with GM starters and headers, so I’m familiar with the sounds they make when cooked but still get (some) power. This thing is dead silent, I’m fairly confident not one half of a volt is going down there.
