Trailblazer Speed Odometer Problems
Drivers depend on their instrument gauges to monitor the cars speed, as well as the amount of miles driven. But for some vehicles, such as the Chevy Trailblazer, problems can arise that affect the gauges functioning.
Identification
A Trailblazers gauges are arranged in an instrument cluster. Normally, the cluster includes the speedometer, fuel and coolant temperature, motor oil temperature, battery voltage and a tachometer.
Features
Many symptoms can point to a faulty instrument gauge, or even the entire cluster. Individual gauges can give intermittent information or stop working completely. Other gauges can look like they are functioning correctly, but are producing incorrect information, such as the speedometer reporting 60 mph when the car is actually traveling at 45 mph.
Prevention / Solution
Many repair facilities can fix your gauges. Depending on the system, some gauges have their motors replaced, while some just need simple calibration. If the damage to the gauge cannot be repaired for a reasonable price it may be best to replace the unit.
