Wouldn’t this be a warranty claim?

Yes as gauges share common grounds that bridge between them. Get to lossen ...then tighten them down.

Any pics of your baby? Is this your first Cobalt?
Look under the dash and see if there are any loose wires. Like the others have mentioned, you most likely have a loose ground (normally black) wire that just needs tightened. When you turn on the blower, the circuit is trying to complete by grounding out elsewhere like your gauges (which shorts the circuit). First check that switch. Then check any of the others for loose connections. Normally an easy fix which is also covered under warranty being that it is only 2 years old.
Would love to read an intro post but only if you have time. Again, welcome aboard mate!
