Also the shift indicator doesnt light up and the over head info thing doesnt either. also gas and temp gauge is no longer reading stats. No check engine light. does any one know what this is? thinking maybe PCM any ideas? thanks for your help

No , it's not the PCM . Battery light on means a problem with the charging system (alternator) And maybe the insturment cluster . Before you start replacing parts the vehicle doesn't need ,take it to a qualified repair shop .cost less in the long run .

SOURCE: 68 camaro aftermarket fuel gauge pegged passed full

Jess, Make sure you don't have the ground and sender level circuits crossed at the gauge. If the needle is pegs to full it indicates an open circuit, if the needle pegs to empty it is indicating a short to ground.
Let me know.

SOURCE: gas gauge malfunction and engine light stays on

This is a common problem with Malibu's. It is due to cheap metal in the fuel gage that corrodes. Chevrolet knows about this but they refuse to issue a fix. The check engine light staying on and the faulty fuel gage are related. This is a defect and they need to recall this part! Raise hell with the dealership!

Our 1998 gm safari said check gauge and the engine won't start,We thought it was the gas so I went to the gas station and got gas. I was wondering what does that mean?

check gauges means that the car senses something is not working properly, such as temp gauge reading to hot ,or oil pressure reading to low ,fuel to low, its to get your attention that something is wrong .

Chevy blazer 1998 4-wheel drive - losing power when it's hot (after about 100 miles) once it cools, everything is fine

First thing to check is the fuel pressure and volume. Sounds like a fuel pump (in the tank) problem, but also be sure to check the filter as they can clog on this model. Testing the pressure with a gauge is the only accurate way to know if I am right. Clogged filter will give normal pressure but it will come up slowly. You can probably rent or borrow a pressure gauge from a local auto parts store if you do not have one. There is a fitting on the fuel rail, so you do not have to open up the fuel line to test the pressure.

AC not cooling in '98 blazer

I think you have a leak. I would get some dye . The local auto parts store sells it with a black light. Then check for leaks .

Good luck
