#1 of 2 Gear shifter position indicator light by dolphin1

Hello,
 
My 2000 blazer shifter position indicator light stopped working. All other cluster lights work fine, just missing the gear position one.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like the same problem I had in my 1999 Blazer LS. The instrument cluster has to be removed and opened up to expose the printed circuit board that has the shift position display. I found two bad solder joints, cleaned and resoldered them.
 
This corrected the problem and it has been OK for 6 months now. It's not that hard to remove the cluster if you are handy, or know someone who is. The rear of the cluster can be pried open with a screwdriver to get at the circuit board. The bad solder joints were obvious to the trained eye as well as some tapping on the pins to see if they move.
