My first time please bear with me. Owner of a Chevy S10 2003 LS 2.2L Vortec. Out of the blue it sometimes starts and other times not. Each time you turn the key lights on the dash dim low. I thought because of the age of the truck It needed new keys. I bought a new Keyway had it pinned by locksmith with two new keys. NO LUCK it continued to start sometimes and not others. I thought of the starter relay. Buying a new one it worked for maybe a day or two and right back at it. I thought maybe the computer. On line bought a computer plugged it it and ran through the rekey process. Again sometimes it would works other times no. So I checked the fuse box. Removed both hot wires or attached wires to the fuse box cleaned them up and it ran great for about 3-4 days and again back at it. I chased the wires from the fuse box and found one wire with bare spot. Tapped it up and all was good for about 2-3 days and again right back at it. I'm at my wits ends Can anyone help PLEASE.

I see you have zero replies. Let me give a you a couple of tips on getting help in a forum ...
#1 - describe your problem in the title. "help" is probably the worst one you could choose. Everyone is here for help.
#2 - Post in the correct section. All the S10 owners are watching the S10 section.

I'll fix your post this time, but keep this in mind when using forums.

How old is your battery and have you had it load tested? Check/clean/tighten all your grounds,
