The digital instrument display on my 2004 chevy silverado z71w/53k miles quit working. After 5 minutes, the display appeared. The next day, the digital display did not appear for 45 minutes. All analog displays (mph, oil, water, battery) were ok. The proposed class action lawsuit against gm appears related to the analog gauges only. Loss of digital display is also a concern, since transmission gear and any power train, brake, or vehicle warning messages are not visible. My concern is whether the loss of analog / digital display are related, such as a common electrical connector.
