1. speedometer acting erratically. 2. dealer wanted to charge $450 dollars to change speed sensor. I told him he was crazy. They reconnected. Speedometer stared working again. 3. 7 months later speedometer starts acting erratically. I search websites and find that many other owners of 2003 Tahoe experience the same thing. Ordered new speed sensor to for self installation. Yet to install. 4. speedometer starts working again after battery changed. 5. runs for 5 days working fine then act erratic again. 6. ready to change. 7. thought I'd complain first. Think this is a safety issue and something should be done about it.

The was a sensor on the dash which controlled the headlights. When the vehicle was under a tree or in the garage, the headlights went dim. The dealer stated there was a code to over ride the system. The dealers had no access to the code. The sensor on the dash turned down the dash lights which made it impossible to read the instrument panel. At dusk the high beams came on without the driver's knowledge. The consumer is looking for the code that will allow the light to operate manually.

I own a new 2003 Chevrolet Blazer... it is only 7 months old with only 7,300 miles on it. I was driving home tonight and heard a " clicking noise" which sounded like the turn signals were on... they weren't... when I pulled in my driveway and turned the Blazer off (key switch in lock position) steering wheel locked in position, my Blazer was still running ! my headlights were off, my inside lights were off, all panel lights were off, so my husband turned the inside panel lights, switch the Blazer turned off... something is terribly wrong with this... the whole system was like it went nuts... I have waited a few hours and since went back out there and tried it again... same thing happened... and it all happened out of no where... the Blazer has driven fine... no problems with it at all since purchase, but now there is also a clicking noise that can be heard under the hood when Blazer is running (sitting still).
