SOURCE: 2004 Trailblazer tachometer problem

On the 03-06 Trailblazer instrument clusters this is a common problem. It's caused by a failing stepper motor on the cluster's circuit board and can be repaired. Check out this page for more about how to get it fixed and other common cluster problems with the Trailblazers - Trailblazer tachometer broken

SOURCE: All warning lights flashing on dash of chevy

All warning lights flashing on dash of my 2002 chevy trailblazer. Runs fine all gagues go dark and turn back on every now and then. Also the gagues all go to the right or stick half way like I am idling at 5000 and going at a speed of 60mph when I am sitting still. I am thinking it has something to do with my computer because the rest of the truck is working just fine.

SOURCE: replace low beam headlight on 2003 chevy trailblazer

I just replaced the low-beam bulb on my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. The grill just needs to be loosed slightly. Then, raise two L shaped brackets, one on each side. For the inside one, I needed to use a flathead screwdriver to get to it. The light assembly can then be pulled out. Remove the rubber cover and rotate the bulb one quarter turn left to release it. Pull out the bulb, replace with a new one ($11.50) from Advance Auto Parts, and reverse the process. Once I figured it out, took about 10 minutes total.

I was wondering if a transmission from a 2003 Chevy Silverado will interchange with a 2003 Chevy trailblazer

Without seeing the truck or transmission i can't give a definite answer but i can provide you with what to look for. The biggest thing is engine. In theory you can but the engine power output determines if the transmission will hold up.

2003 chevy trailblazer tach inop

The tachometer in your truck is controlled by the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module, which recieves engine speed information from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the digital communications network in your truck.

There may be an engine control problem that is causing your engine to run rough and cause your tachometer to not operate as well. However, there is no way that the tachometer itself is going to make the engine run poorly. The tachometer has no fuse of its own that does not also affect several other electrical circuits in your truck. Looking for the fuse as a possible fix for your problem is totally useless.

What you need to do is to scan your onboard computer network, incluuding the PCM, BCM, IPC and the ABS modules to see where the problem is located. It may even be a communications network error. There is no way of knowing for sure without establishing communications with the network and interfacing with all of the control modules that use the tachometer signal to perform certain functions.

PLEASE NOTE: Generic OBD code readers CANNOT perform the functions that will be needed to diagnose and repair this problem.

I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with a malfunctioning tachometer and speedometer. What is the likely part I need to replace?

Sounds like a bad speedometer sensor. Usually located on the transmission. The only way to fix the speedometer is to replace the sensor.
The Variable Speed Sensor (VSS) has failed. You will have to get it replaced. Both are driven by an electrical signal sent to the cars computer by the VSS, and converted to SPEED, and DISTANCE driven.

2003 Trail Blazer Tachometer .... I passed

The trailblazer / envoy vehicles have instrumentation problems. A sweep test with a scan tool will likely reveal a problem with the tachometer in your instrument cluster. It can be repaired by any number of dedicated repair facilities or the entire cluster can be replaced. I heard that there is a recall of these, but do not know for certain. It might be worth a call to a chevy dealer to see if it is.
