Also today dectives came and questioned me about robbery ans the car next to mine there apperntly been a rash of,robberybehine the store where mt car,was pushed to soo who knows when they going two start towig cars so time,is,of the essanc
1999 tahoe 5.7 gas,engin.
1.truck cransk over,no start,no powe to icm(pink wire)/fuel pum
@fuel pump was,working,.then,intermitant.now not at all

* new crankshaft sensor /coil

2. I finally found out that there,was a parisitic drain on,the battery that I traced to a short

I un hooked the neg batt ..put a test light andstarted pulling fuses one by one from the under,hood box... The 50a lighting circut, and the one under it lable BA ttery
Is where the problem is. When,only the one labeld battery was in the test light was dim and plused..when only the lighting one was in the light was,really bright.
I finallt,got,it,to not shins,elimnating,the drain by doing the following,..

.
1. Diconnecting the light switch /dimmer switch and pulling,t he flasher relay(i think) that is on top of thevaudio amp(silver box)thats to t he right of th steering colum n

that got ride of the drain .but.now still no start no fuel pump and with the key off /FL asher oulled (i think it was the flasher)
When ever I press hazard flasher on the right blinnker works only



*also befor I figured out how what was causeing thevshort (get the test light between the,disscinted e neg bat cable wire) when it,was dime ly plusibf it woukd d buzx in tha th e dash and flash dimmly litbut would stop when I moved the wires avove the auto amp under the dash that haa,t he double relay Co nnected to it

So my questikn is is that rhe ignition switch.. The haz flasher or blinker shorting out, everytalso when I plug back in,the light switch it stars, also when I plug in,t he light switch the dash lghtd up and the right blinker blinks
Again any help is despreately needed.as I dont know when it may be towed and it suppose to ran hear on san diego this weekend a nd im basicall stuck 20 miles from home.. Also any testing method,on how to pin point what is causeing this and if I can jjust by pass it completly to drive home durring the day so I can square it away .also cars not registef causr itbeen non unning so I coukdentld get it smogeto complete the reg.,

Again sorry for the typeing im useing my android with the tiny keyboard
