I have a 2004 Denali that blows heat and A/C through the defrosters only. The dealer has "adjusted" some sensor three times based on the TSB recommendations. What should I do??

Probably a vacuum leak to the vacuum controls of the HVAC if it has vacuum controls instead of electrical. The defroster is the default if there is no vacuum. Does it idle rough?

I have this same problem and I do have a bit of a rough idle. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting the vacuum system?

The A/C in my 2004 Yukon XL wasn't getting cold any more. I figured it was a basic freon leak. Dealer said the control module needed to be re-programmed. Charged me 2.5 hours labor at 95 $/hr. They could not explain what went wrong or why it needed to be reprogrammed, they just said that is what needed to be done.
Did I get duped?

Ouch. I had the A/C computer go wacky after changing the battery in the '04 this past weekend. Passengers side front blew cold, rear blew cold, drivers side hot. Dealer offered to 'reprogram' system.
Well, I work with computers every day, and I know that unit must have a "self-learn" function. So, I went to the fuse box under the hood, pulled the fuse to the A/C control system. Waited a few minutes, reinstalled the fuse, and started the car, and within one minute the system reset and started working correctly.

2001 yukon denali rear A/C problem

I put a new condenser, front and rear dryer, evaporator, and compressor on the A/C and had the system charged. Besides being a pain in the butt of a job, the rear A/C fan no longer kicks on. I checked the large gray fuse and small 10amp fuse under the hood and both are good. I have tried kicking on the system by pulling the fuse, waiting, and then replacing and got nothing. I tried to turn it on using the auto button front A/C control, rear A/C control and rear A/C auto and I get no air at all you can't even hear the fan kick on. The front A/C works great, never better. WHAT AM I MISSING?

Are you getting voltage to the rear fan?

I got what your saying. The rear fan motor could have a short or could need replacement. I feel kind of stupid now. So where might I find the rear fan motor to test it? Is it in the headliner and if so where at?

I don't know for sure, but usually a rear cooling fan is mounted near the rear evaporator, like drivers side in the rear quarter? It is easy to move air through the plenum to the vents, not so easy to find a place for the fan motor.

Slightly different AC question

Hey guys...I have a slightly different problem on my 03 Denali, and wanted your input.
When I turn on the AC, the motor is actually making a sound. It sounds like something might be caught in it, but it's a humming sound, and I don't know how to go about diagnosing it.
Also, there is a clicking sound, but ONLY when it's on the direct ahead placement. Whenever air is directed to my feet or the defroster, the sound goes away. I'm sure a dealer will scerw me, so I wanted your input. Thanks!
