Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 14, 2009 8:04 am) I would always wait to hit the Christmas tree stand on the coldest day in December. You could always work a quick deal when the wind chill hit 30 below and you told the guy you would tie it to the car yourself..... |

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 14, 2009 7:02 am) Sounds like one of the actuators (electric motors that moves the vanes to control the air flow) might have died. Or the piece of the arm on the vane broke. Possibly the controlling programmer that decides how much to move might have died, but could you adjust between floor and defrost, e.g.? Actuators should be available from another area dealer for them to "Rush" parcel service to their store for repair. If the unit is designed like Buick's parts are replaceable by owners with a rating of 1 out of 10 on the shadetree mechanic scale. It's sort of like people putting Windows 7 on their computer as a beta.

Buy the black GM and put on license plates that say "Pull Over." Scare speeders to death.

| I got a question. Does anyone actually go looking for a car when the temperature gets this cold? | |
