#2 of 61 Cavalier AC problems by 03cavalier Mar 28, 2005 (9:57 am)
Hi all, Currently own a 2003 Cavalier 2.2L ecotec. Having problems with the A/C compressor not kicking on or kicking on intermittently. Yes there are some criteria you have to meet for clutch to engage 1. engine temp<250 farenheit 2. engine <5000 rpms. 3. call from dash (have to turn dial on control panel) 4. battery voltage between 9 and 18 volts. 5. High and low pressure between ? I meet all the criteria for the compressor to engage (although I can't check high and low pressure) and the clutch will not engage. I will drive the car and then the clutch may engage and A/C will work and other times it won't. Problem is extremely intermittent with no real rhyme or reason. Dealer says it works properly but I know they are full of it. Any advice may help. Thank you.
#3 of 61 AC problems by embishop3 Apr 10, 2005 (1:11 pm)
I have a 1998 Cavalier LS, and started having problems with the AC last August. Eventually, it stopped completely. One mechanic said that '98 Cavaliers were used as fleet vehicles, and that he has had a couple come in with AC problems as well. Has anyone else had problems?
#4 of 61 fan control by rorytate Jun 24, 2005 (9:32 am)
Hey, I have something weird. The standard fan control on a '98 cavalier. It has 4 settings. the LAST 2 (medium high/high) work. The 1st one (low) works ok, but the medium low doesn't work. Anyone help me out with that? Is there something I can check on that?   Replies to this message: joe3891 (Jun 24, 2005 2:20 pm) rorytate (Jun 26, 2005 8:31 pm) joe3891 (Jun 27, 2005 8:45 am)

Replying to: rorytate (Jun 26, 2005 8:31 pm) Its behind the heater blower motor, remove that first, then two 7mm screws. The screw against the firewall is hard,I used a tip I saw on another forum, as close to the screw cut the firewall insulation 1 inch across, then 1 1/2 inches down both sides, the fold down, it will give you room to work. You will see when you get there.
#8 of 61 2004 Cavalier heating and cooling issue by sfrench Sep 28, 2005 (5:25 am)
Hi! My girlfriend owns a 2004 Cavalier and is having some problems with the front defroster and the floor air flow. I did a quick check last night and the fan works at all speeds fine, but the air flow won't switch from the panel to the floor or the defroster. When I would turn the knob to defroster the A/C light would come on, and when I switched it back to panel, the light shut off. Can someone tell me what is wrong and what I can do to fix it?

Replying to: sfrench (Sep 28, 2005 5:25 am) haha I am having the exact same problem as of this morning. It takes for ever for the car to get warm and the air conditioner light appears when it shouldnt. I'm curious to know whats the cause of it is too.

Replying to: sfrench (Sep 28, 2005 5:25 am) When you go to the defrost position, the A/C should come on to help get rid of the moisture in the car. As far as the vents not changing, you might have to pull the dash apart and see if you have anything loose in the HVAC controls.
