Well the "check gauges" is telling you to look at the temp gauge -

various reasons for overheating - - thermostat, low on coolant, cooling fan - fan clutch problem, etc.

Ajkill is right. I had the same problem with the fuel light always being on and the guage read empty no matter how much fuel is in the tank. I had to have the fuel level sensor in the tank replaced. This is something that they have to drop the tank for. It was about $400 with the part and labor at the dealership.

SOURCE: oil pressure guage dropping

Sounds like the sensor is failing.Have oil pressure checked with a mechanical gage to confirm. A new sensor or wiring repair is allot cheaper then a new engine!!

SOURCE: just bought a 2006 chevy trailblazer. the engine

I suppose the engine code said that cylinder was not firing or faulty? I would immediately get a compression check done on the engine. It is relatively painless. My burnt valves (compression 10psi vs 150psi) could not be diagnosed any other way. Does this help?

SOURCE: 40000 miles on Trailblazer gas guage shows empty/check engine lig

i have the same problem and it will cost to have it fixed.but right now we are using our trip odometer by 1st fulling up and refueling at 300 miles then resetting.as far as the check engine it could be as smple as a lose gascap. go to advance auto parts and ask them to check it.they will do it for free.if you buy the part from them you can take it back and they will clear your codes.hopes this helps you get by for a while

SOURCE: 2005 Chevy Malibu the gas

hey the reason your gas gauge is going from full to empty is that your fuel pump which is in the gas tank has a sensor that relays how much gas the tank has in it, the sensor is gone bad and will have to be replaced. And your engine light problem is probley due to putting gas in the car while it is running, my wife has a 2005 malibu and we have had the same problems with her car hope this was helpful

2003 chevy trailblazer panel gages not working and ticking sound behind panel while engine is not on

First I'll ask, do all the dash lights come on when the ignition is turned on? If not, fix the ignition switch first, if they do come on then I'm afraid the stepper motors on your instrument cluster have gone haywire, there are several repair kits for these stepper motor malfunctions available pretty cheap

I have a 2004 Chevy trail blazer and the a/c max button will push in but the light doesn't come on and it still blows hot air

if the light doesnt come on the compressor is not engaging the clutch. possible wiring problem. check a/c clutch relay. may be faulty compressor or the system may be completely empty of refrigerant

Chevy trailblazer engine gets too hot only when i blow the air conditioner

always check coolant level first, then if ok. check fan for a/c it should come on and run anytime the a/c is on. so turn a/c on and see if fan kicks on right away if not check relay.
hope this helped.

Check guages light keeps coming on when i am in park or have my foot on the breaks it is a 2002 chevy trailblazer.

I would check my oil pressure gauge and the oil level as well. the fuel level guage also malfunctions on those models so make sure it is working properly and not floating from full to empty that will cause the light to come on as well as overheating of the engine(low coolant levels)low oil level,low fuel level,and low charging volts from your alternator.if all is well suspect a short in dash.

Fuel guage moving all over 2006 chevy trailblazer

I had this problem as well. Took it to the garage and it was a $700 bill the part alone was $440 they had to drop the gas tank - and since then it's not been working right. The fan clutch went a week later another $700 bill. Picked it up and it was still making the same sound - garage replaced another sensor without charging me--picked it up and three days later the service engine light came on. Back to garage and another $80 part was needed under the hood. All this with just 52,500 miles and I keep it well maintained. Not a happy camper at all! Holding my breath but it's been only two days so far so good.

Hi ;battery guage , speedometer ,rpm guage stay bottomed out.fuel guage did same thing couple o days ago but came back normal.

chevy refuses to recall this speedometer. The same part is in several other models and they were recalled. The stepper motor in the gauge cluster is faulty. The dealership will charge around $700 to replace it. I reported it to the gov't agency that handles recalls and chevy in detroit. No results.
