That was the one. If the dash has been out for a heater core you may have some bad connections. Next arae would be the door jam switches - all work and none broken and shorting. Then on to the multifunction switch - activate high beams then lows and see if that effects the outcome.

Thanksfor all the help. My high beams and low beams work fine,do these have a sensor that determins night from day? when i start my truck when it is dark out i dont have to turn my headlight switch on my headlights are already on but when it is daylight i can use the switch to go from daytime running to headlights! Still no dash lights either way

2000 blazer dash lights flicker by ncslater

I have a 2000 Blazer I just purchased recently. The dash lights flicker constantly. Is this normal in a GM product as I have never owned one before? Also headlights come on when starting and stay on unless I push the dome override. Is there anything to do to fix this problem? Thanks.

I have checked all the fuses and they are fine. My dash will not light up, cig lighter don't work, and I can't tell how much gas in the tank. I can't even tell how my speed is, no dash lights at all. The dash panel is digital as well. The radio does work, but can be shakey at times. What is a person to do?????? Could it be electrical?

2001 Blazer LT - 120240 miles. I have now about half of the lights working on my dash and climate controls. The radio lights are going out as well. I used to have all of the them but it seems that ever so often another "dies". Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It is very frustrating. . . . . . .

yep, the lights are replaceable. The instrument panel will have to be removed, as will the climate control head. There are usually little twist sockets from the back that are removed with the bulbs in them. Replace the bulbs and you are good to go.
 
The radio lights may not be quite as easy, but the radio is easy to remove and you could then take it to a repair shop and have them replaced.

I replaced the "bug" lights in my 1991 S10 Blazer temperature conrol panel yesterday. Two screws hold the panel to the dash and are located underneath the control panel. . Remove the two screws and the panel assembly lifts out.Pull out the assembly until you can access the light bulb sockets. The two sockets in the light harness accepts two #194 bulbs..Reinstall the temperature control panel in the resverse order that you removed it.

No dash lights by blazerwoes

My dash lights are out, but I can see the mileage and the dome light works. No dash lights at all, radio works.
 
Fuses are fine...I am so confused. What could this possibly be? It is really a hassle driving at night and not being able to see how fast I am going!!!
 
HELP!!

I know this is going to sound silly but have you checked the dimmer on the left side of the dash? the only reason I ask is that it happened to me one time when I got in that I bumped it somehow and it dimmed the dash to nothing when everything else still worked. Hope this helps.

Yes, unfortunately I have checked that. I keep re-checking it too, hoping somehow it will magically work. I know it has to be something simple that I can't get my brain wrapped around.....
 
Thanks for your help!
