Hmmmm...could be connected to the loose fuse problems many HHR owners have experienced. It was the gauges and the DIC display that went out? How about the instrument cluster lights - did they go out too?

I had the same problem all I did was re-seat all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood and the gauges started working again. Haven't had any troubles with it again.

I'm glad it was that simple, that could be a little scary!

I had the same problem the second day I had my hhr.
I lost the CID, but the other instruments continued to work.
They had to call GM, plug into the computer to get some information, and then order me a new module. In my case the CID LCD had a short in the ribbon cable. A few days later, I was in and out. Been fine every since.
