#822 of 831 2003 chevy silverado climate control issue by trutledge

Nov 02, 2011 (5:11 pm)

i have a 2003 chevy silverado with the dual zone climate control heating and air conditioning. last year i couldn't turn off the recirculation button.... several months later, i was only able to get heat if I cranked the temp up to 90 degrees... from 89 degrees and below.... it was straight air conditioning. this morning the blower just simply quit... is it the control panel gone bad?? or something else? I really like my truck but this is nuts!

Try checking on ebay for a new/used control panel. They are plug and play so an easy DIY.

might as well ask here.
 
Son at college has a 2000 Acura TL. He said (last year I think but told me in the summer!) that the heat did not work. Plenty of AC, so something is working.
 
I won't see the car until thanksgiving, but looking for ideas. He did seem to have heat the first year we had it *2008) and probably after that.
 
I will read the manual and fiddle with the auto CC (I hate those things) to see if he just screwed up some setting, but I dread having to take this some place to get debugged. Can't imagine it is that easy to do!

Before anything else check the coolant level.

thanks. we just had that changed in the summer to get the car ready for another winter up north. But will certainly check that too.

1. Are the HVAC fans working (blowing air) when heat is called for?
2. Is the engine coolant up to temperature?
 
Sounds like it may be the valve that lets heated coolant flow into the heater core. If so, that could be the valve itself, or the signal that controls it.

I HAVE A 99 INFINITY QX4 AND WHEN I TURN ON MY AC/HEAT IT COMES ON BUT DOESN'T BLOW. I FIND THAT WHEN I DRIVE AT A CONSTANT SPEED (I.E. ON THE HIGHWAY) IT BLOWS OUT AIR/HEAT BUT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER HOW HARD IT BLOWS OUT, ONLY CONTROL OVER TEMPERATURE... WHAT COULD SOME POSSIBLE ISSUES BE?

The blower fan isn't working. Check the fuse first. If it's not that, then see if the blower is getting voltage when it's on (voltage varies with blower speed). If the voltage is present at the blower connector, then the blower fan is probably bad. If it's not then it could be the control itself (manual or auto if there's climate control).
What your feeling now is just the air that flows through when your moving forward.

I have 2003 Infiniti G35. A/c works sometimes and then goes off.Comes back on several days later. Same with heater. You can feel cold/heat but the blower won"t work.
