Have a 1997 Chevy Blazer that randomly will not start. At times it will go for months with no problems then suddenly will not start. This is happening now if it sits for one day without being started. If you put it on battery charger it will start. Has new battery, alternator and starter installed plus battery ground and hot wire. Also the radio light stays on unless it is not starting. Have checked all wiring know to check. When put on battery charger, charger shows battery 75% charged. Typically if driven every day it does not have this probelms, but on occasion it has had this probelms when driven every day.

Have the starter checked. Inside there are brushes that sometime dirt gets between the brushes and armiture causing a bad contact. If it happens again try tapping the starter with a hammer lightly then see if it starts. Don't hit it hard, just tap it!
