I have a 86 K5 Blazer, and only one dash light works. I've replaced all the light bulbs, and they still do not work. It looks like there's a circuit board behind all the instrumentation, and I'm guessing it "feeds" power to all the gauges, lights, etc. Do these go out sometimes? Does anyone have any ideas about this?:confused:
 
double check the wire harness connector is fully plugged in on the backside.

Yes they can go bad. Check the connector like mentioned and then bust out the DMM. I have seen someone on here use a copper??? tape to repair thiers. One from a junkyard would be pretty easy if they dont shaft you on the price
 
Mine did the same i went to pick and pull got some extra sockets and cleaned everything up with a little scotch brite and got it working for some reason some of the old sockets went bad.Of course it was the fuel gauge that was out made night time trips lots of fun.
