#285 of 294 A/C on with out pushing button by lsadler

Oct 09, 2012 (5:07 pm)

I have a 2001 Yukon XL 5.3 liter. When we start it the a/c is on. We can turn it off by pressing the on/off button. The a/c works. I took it to the shop and they could find nothing wrong. Any suggestions?

#286 of 294 Vent Problems by gmhellboy

Oct 15, 2012 (5:48 am)

I have a 2005 GMC Yukon SLT that will not move the air flow to the various vent settings either manually or through the AUTO function. I have had the HVAC head unit replaced 3 years ago due to a soda can explosion that took it out, and an actuator on the passenger side replaced because the fan would not shut off....even with the car off and the keys in my hand. As I type the air flow only comes through the defroster vents on the top of the dash. The rear HVAC is functioning perfectly.
 
Please help.

I am not here for do it yourself work. I just want to be informed when I head to the dealer so I do not get over charged or receive unnecessary work. I am frustrated by this as I have replaced two major HVAC components and continue to have these gremlins in the system. I treat my vehicle well and garage it as well as routine maintenance.
 
thanks for you input/assistance.

My apologies for misunderstanding your post, gmhellboy! I myself am unable to provide much input, unfortunately. I checked to see if there were any filters that might need to be changed for the cabin of your Yukon but did not see any that were specific to the HVAC system in the manaul. Keep us posted, and I hope you get some great insight from members of the community as well.

I appreciate your earnest to help. I apologize if my previous post was curt. The system now lets me choose between the defroster vents and the floor vents. If I or the auto climate control choose the front/face vents it defaults back to the defroster vents.

#291 of 294 Yukon XL front vent problem by phoche

Jan 04, 2013 (8:38 pm)

Something that has long been a problem with my 2000 Yukon XL is outside air blows in on the front passenger side. In winter, it makes your leg numb after a while. I've tried stuffing pillows and blankets in there but the cold comes through anyway. Any ideas what might be wrong? I mean really, I'm all for some fresh air but this is awful.
 
I've tried every button combo on the climate control, no change... except today. The fool thing stuck on High heat. We had to drive with the windows open to stay cool and it was only 25 outside. I've fixed that with the "disconnect the battery" method referenced earlier. Now it's back to a cold leg for a full day of travel again tomorrow. Any ideas or pointers technical data to allow me to fix this economically?

After trying all that was recommended and then getting an estimate from a shop I thought I could trust, I finally bit the bullet and took the truck to the dealer. At around $600, his cost was still about $200 less than my former mechanics estimate. It ended up being the vent actuator previously discussed. The dealer retail for the part was about $250, although I could have bought an identical part on the web for about $50. The rest was labor to R&R the console and bottom portion of the dash. I'm certain I could have done this myself a lot cheaper, but my time has a monetary value as well. The best justification I can give for paying this amount is that they fixed it right the first time, and now I'm hoping never to have to deal with it again.
