Hello,

This is a very common problem with 03-06 Trailblazer instrument clusters and it is repairable without having to replace the entire cluster.

My 2005 trailblazer starts cold & when hot but when it gets halfway it cranks a lo about halfway down on temp gauge it cranks a long time & the gas mileage dropped a lot could

I know that you can't trust the Trailblazer instrument cluster at all. Our 2007 was the biggest mess, but it's the gauge clusters and not the sending units that are defective. There are Good Folks making a Living doing nothing more than rebuilding Trailblazer Instrument Clusters and you can google that. The only way to know for sure is to verify with other means. For example, For MPH on the speedometer simply drive an indicated 60 mph on any Interstate Hwy that has Mile markers and time how long in seconds it takes to get from one marker to the next. 60 seconds means the speedometer is perfect. A temperature gun can tell you if the temp gauge is working right or not. Is your mileage changing or are the gauges giving you bad info? My advice is start at the gauges because they will drive you nuts. I hope that helps you!

My service engine light is coming on and then my oil gauge and thermostat gauge goes crazy. I just had a new thermostat and map senosor put in.

Take the truck to a place like Autozone to have them read the code the engine light is producing. Usually done for free. At this point, we can help narrow it down with the codes. As for the gauges going haywire, TB's have a problem with te stepper motors on the back of the instrument cluster, these little inexpensive motors, may need to be replaced. OR you could have a problem with your ignition switch.

I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer ext. The instrument cluster was failing. I had the cluster rebuilt but I still have an ABS light, parking brake light, battery light, and seat belt light. Also, the gas...

Have the various systems scanned and see if they show a fault code, I suspect they will. As far as the gauges go that sounds like the rebuilder screwed up.

My 03 trailblazer speedometer is not working when i am stop its showing i am doing 80 mph

Call your local dearship with your vin, and ask if the special policy for the IPC (cluster) appies to your truck. Some of these have a special policy which would mean that you could have it fixed at the dealer for very cheap. Otherwise you will need to have the cluster sent out and it will need to be repaired, it's not very cheap either, and it will need to be programed at the dealership also after it's replaced.
