I have 2003 tahoe, was running fine and next day wouldn't start. Accessories, dash lights up, but when turn to start and nothing. No click nothing, it's like when you turn on all power is cut off. You can't even tell that you turn the key to the on position. Checked starter, battery, fuses, relays, changed ignition switch, tested neutral safety switch,tried all the tricks found on the internet with the key and gear shift. I'm desperate and need help.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

When I first read this, my first thought was an ignition switch. Then I saw that you changed that. If the starter and battery are good, you said you checked them but have no idea how you checked them, you may have a pass lock problem. Do you have anything like that, that you know of? Take the battery cables off and let sit for 5 minutes and then reattach and see what happens.

I'm battery is brand new, and i don't think it's the pass lock cause I can't remember the exact steps but I found a way to check it on Google,

And I have a code reader that plugs in and a Bluetooth one and neither of them will read.

With the new battery it still won't start but when turned to on position, the only sound it makes.is a faint click that comes from the relay
