Check gauge light can come on for a number of different things, from Low fuel to low oil pressure to high engine temperatures. When the light comes on check all the gauge's and see whats causing it, one or more of the gauge's will be showing an issue, Low fuel or low oil pressure, Low battery power. Any of the mentioned things can cause it... Figure out whats causing it then you can remedy the situation...

    Well the engine shut off its normal for lights to come on, That's basically a way to test the light bulbs to make sure they are working, I would be more worried about why the truck shut down, Have it serviced by a professional, Its possible that it only needs a tune-up or maybe just the fuel filter replaced, there are a number of different things that could cause it to shut down

I was idling at a traffic light, the 2004 chevy trailblazer suv turned of by itself and the check gages light came on, not the check engine light, but the check gages light. i immediately turned the truck completely off and back on. the truck was fine but the gas gage took some time to reach full peek but then eventually did after about 3 miles of driving. what do u think the problem is?

SOURCE: "2004 chevrolet cavalier check gages light stays on."

Look for which one of your gauges that are not working. You may need to take it to the dealer to find out exactly why. Could be a bad sensor somewhere.

Oil pressure gage fluctuates and check gages light goes on and off

Look to your ignition switch for quirky things like that on TB's.
Not the switch you put your key in, it's under the cover below the tumbler.

My 2004 Chevy Trailblazer just shut off on its own at a traffic light... the check gages light immediatly turned on. I am a single mother and i dont know any guys in my area how do i check the gages?

Hi!!
If the check engine light came on, drive to the nearest AutoZone, Checkers, or similar autoparts store. Have them scan the vehicles computer for trouble codes,this is a FREE service, you'll get a print out of the codes and a short description of the fault. If you ask the tech to explain the probable cause, most of the time they would do it. If you need further assistance, contact FixYa again.
Good Luck!!

I have a 2004 Chev Trailblazer and the instrument cluster the back lights work but the instruments don't, the fuses are good, sometimes after driving it for 15 or 20 minutes and shutting it off and...

This is very common, in fact GM issued an extended warranty on the gage clusters from 2003-2005. Unfortunately the extended warranty has expired. The cluster either needs to be replaced or rebuilt. I know there are several companies that specialize in rebuilding them, but it takes 3-5 days and the vehicle is not drivable during that time and the repair is not cheap. I just checked and there is one on e-bay for $90 that may work for you. Here is the link, good luck! http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=trailblazer+gauge+cluster+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=trailblazer+gage+cluster&_rdc=1

My v8 trailblazer 2007 allways showing "check gages light" and no temperature indication

the check gauges light is on because the temp gauge is not indicating, u may have a thermostat stuck open and the engine never reaches operating temp.

Chevy trailblazer 2004

Check the gages by turning the key's to the run position and see if the gages work. If not check the fuses and then work your way to the wire harness. Good luck

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!!
