2004 Chevy Malibu instrument light problems

While im driving all my instruments on dash will go out (speedometer, gas gauge, lights, even the radio goes out), it will go out for a minute or so and then come back on. However my car still runs ok while this happens, any suggestions?

Re: 2004 Chevy Malibu instrument light problems

This has been discussed in previous threads (intermittently), but not for a while. I forget the resolution (mine hasn't has the issue). Might want to search back through threads for, say, the last 6-9 months. If it wasn't discussed in here, for sure it was over in Edmund's.

I am convinced that it is the ignition switch problem. How do I confirm that? Use something with weight and soft as a water bottle. Tap the end of the key while the engine is running. I usually have to this once or twice after started the car.

As far as I know the 2004+ Malibus have not had any ignition switch problems. Maybe the 2004 Classic as that was based on the previous generation.....
