Reported at 85,000 miles, January 2011 Fire

I have a 2004 chevy trailblazer; while driving on the highway; all gauges, lights, etc. Abruptly stopped working and continue to not work. I researched on line and found it could be what is called the "cluster board". I took my vehicle to a local chevy dealer in daytona beach fl. They insisted it was the ignition switch. They replaced that mechanism for just under $300.
