my 2004 Chevy trailblazer periodically looses speedometer and tach. There seems to be no pattern , cycle, or event that causes this to happen - any ideas?

Hi Ryan,

This is a common issue with the 03-06 Trailblazers and is caused by failing gauge motors inside your instrument cluster. You can have it replaced at the dealership for $400-$700 or you can have your cluster rebuilt. Check out http://drspeedometer.com/services-i-offer/trailblazer-speedometer-repair for more info.
