Default 2004 Blazer odometer and gear shift display fogged out.

I have a 2004 Blazer, 4-dr, 4x4, V6, auto, 91k. The display for the gear shift and the odometer is "fogged" out. I can barley read it. Any fixes??

Sure, go to your local salvage yard and grab whatcha need....... the good thing is blazers are plentiful in the junkyards....

Thanks 07......do you know how difficult it is to access the odometer displays in the instrument cluster?

It's way easier to just replace the entire instrument cluster. Just find one for a 98 or newer auto with a column shift. Mine went bad at 116,000 and the replacement only had 47,000. Take the time to find a lower mileage unit since it's been shaken the least and should last longer.

Thanks Rusty...I've been looking online on how to remove the cluster, seems pretty easy. A refurbished unit runs between 150 and 200 dollars. Thanks again.
