2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer: multiple warning lights

Filed Apr 30, 2017 · Lights · 98,570 miles · MI

Three times while driving my trailblazer, all lights have gone out. The three times did not happen under similar driving conditions. One was while driving on the expressway at 70 MPH, one was while exiting a business route at less than 45 MPH, the third was while pulling up to a stoplight. I have learned to use the lighting control knob on the console, turning it to the right and back again until the lights come back on. The part of system causing the issue is unknown to me.

Initially the interior lights as well as the head lights will flicker while the car is running in park. The drivers side window stopped working in april 2012. The other three windows continued to work. June 2012 the radio began to cut out when hitting a bump in the road. The dash radio lights would go blank and the clock reset to 12:00. This occurred on at least 4-5 occasions. Other times when hitting a bump the radio would make a static cut out sound but wouldn't fully go out. July 2012 on 3-4 different occasions all of the dash lights came on at once while driving down the road, the gas gauge dropped to empty on a full tank and the ding ding ding sound came on while driving. August 19, 2012, after driving about 8 miles the car smelled really funny like burning rubber or wire. Sniffing around the smell was originating from the front drivers side dash/door hinge area. At this time the rear drivers side window stopped working. The two remaining passenger windows continue to work, however hours later the smell still remains in the car.

The vehicle was not taken the vehicle to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 95,000. Updated 8/28/12 *cn the consumer stated he was driving when the windows stopped working. The entire dash cluster shut down, the windshield wipers came on by themselves, the side mirrors started moving, and all the lights came on, the vent blowers stopped and the windows rolled up on their own. After 30 minutes, the dash cluster stared functioning again, and the mirrors stopped moving, but the driver side door panel was not working as the vent blowers did not come back on. The consumer was quoted $200 just to take the driver's side door panel off and look at it. Updated 08/29/12

Driving down the road at 65 MPH fuel gauge drops from 3/8 full to zero. Other gauges such as oil pressure, coolant temperatures also drops to zero. Also several warning lights such as check engine and anti lock break turn on. I stopped the car shut off the engine and it would not start again. After adding 2 gallons of gas it started again but when I took it to gas station I could only add about 11 gallons into a 24 gallon tank. So I believe the reading at 3/8 full was correct before it went to zero. The same situation occurred again when we had 3/4 tank full, this time our family was stranded out of town.
