99 Chevy Blazer won't crank unless i pull the fuses and put back in Sign In

 I have a 99 Chevy blazer, 4.7 L, 120k miles. For a while it was taking a minute to start when I put into the run position. It wouldn't crank for a few seconds and then it would start right up. The other day I went to start it and it wouldn't crank over at all. The battery is working, because I have fully functional lights, radio, etc., and the I can hear the fuel pump working (which I just replaced) when I go to start the car. I thought it may be a blown ignition fuse under the hood. Besides the fuses looking a little "burned" where they connect to the metal inside the box, they were not blown. I put the fuses back into the fusebox, and it started right up! Not even a little delay when starting. Turned it off and tried a few more times, and each time it fired up with no problem. Left it sit for a day, went to start it up, and same thing. So I figured why not try the same thing I did the day before. Pulled out the fuses and put them back in, walah! Started up again without any delay. I only checked the fuses though, I did not check the ignition relay. I don't want to continously pull the fuses to put them back in to start my car. What could it be??

Sounds like there is a loose connection in the back of the fuse box - I would check this first. I would try changing your fuses to rule that out too. Also check your fuses are the correct rating (your vehicle user manual should give you this info)

I changed the ignition relay switch and seemed to work just fine. Dang blazer's engine blew on me anyway less than a month later. As much money as I put into that thing, good riddens!!!
