when you hold the cables together they are not connected to the battery. your just holding the cables together you dont have to try it but it worked for me. I got the idea from the tv show TRUCKS on spike tv. i have not had any problems since, did it about 6 monthes ago

99 Siverado A/C expansion valve noise by chevy4me
Nov 01, 2008 (2:02 am)

I have had the truck since new and it now has 68,000 miles.The noise began near three yearsuse and has been intermittent . I noticed a drop in cooling ability last year and I did add a can of r-134 this year. That made it blow much colder but the expansion valve noise did not change. It can be quite loud at times but is tollerable( stereo volume up).When the truck was under warranty the dealer dealer told me it could be replaced ( the valve) but it would end up doing it again. I'm wondering if this is common with the 99's and has anyone with this problem been solved ?

2006 Silverado 1500 Blower fan Issues by trijet

I was driving along the other day with the A/C on and started to smell burning wiring (kinda of hate that smell being a commercial pilot) and a little smoke. Then the blower fan stopped working. i pulled over and looked under the dash and the four wire connector going into the fan box was smoking and melted...so were the wires for about an inch back from the plug.
 
I am taking to the dealership that I bought it new at on Monday, but am asking you experts if their is any documentation of this being a problem? The dealership that I bought it at is one of those high volume stores and they have a reputation of being hard to work with on the service side.
 
Any help would be great!

I have never personally heard of anything like what you described happen. I frequent several GM boards none of which reports anything like above.
 
If you find your dealership hard to work with on warranty issues, give GM customer service a call and they usually can refer you to another Chevy dealership in your area. With what you describe, I don't think that the dealship can question or deny warranty coverage as the results (burnt wiring) is obvious. Probably due to a ground condition somewhere along the wire.

I am also currently having this issue i have a 2005 sierra 2500 with 20,000 miles the thing is only used during the winter and my heat /ac does not work brought back to the local dealership where i bought it from and was told a bad relay caused the wiring harnes to burn up and was quoted 300 to fix i think that is b.s. it is obviously a factory defect i called gm cosomer service and they offered to pay for half but will not cover the whole repair. the tech at the local dealership said he sees this all the time obviously they have a problem.

As a follow up, I just got back from the dealership. I was 3,000 miles out of warranty and the cost to replace the resistor and wire harness was quoted at $340. When I asked for the number to the customer service rep because fried wiring is not normal wear the service writer had me speak to the service manager who stated that this is such a common problem that they have all the parts on hand to fix it and for "goodwill and to fix a known problem" they would fix it for free. One hour later I was down the road with it fixed.
 
Thanks for the inputs.

2003 Sierra heat problem by mobycr

I have a 2003 Gmc Sierra 1500 with dual heat control. The air conditioning works fine but when you slide the controls up to heat the heat only works on the drivers side and the passenger side still blows cold air. This happens whether or not the AC switch is on or off. Thanks in advance.

I was jumping another person's car and accidently got the cables on the wrong posts. When I started my p/u it only put out hot air. I talked to the Chevy dealer and he said they would have to re-program the a/c computer. I thought if it was like other computers I would just re-boot it. I unhooked the negative cable from the battery for a few seconds and reconnected. It fixed it.
Only thing is, my a/c will not put out very cold air. It has a good charge of freon (had it checked) and I suspect the cold/hot air mixing valve.
 
How do I check it for sure?
