climate control on '03 suburban by krd120203

My climate control is only working on the settings of 4 and 5. from 0 to 3 the air comes through as a breeze. What could be the problem with my system? The blower is working at the correct strength at both 4 and 5, and the rear blower is working just fine in all settings.

I had the same problem with a '02 Pontiac Grand Am and it was caused by burned out blower speed control resistor.
 
In that Pontiac blower fan speed control is done with resistors, i.e. with each fan speed the voltage to the fan motor goes thru a different resistor, which drops the voltage for the motor for a set fan speed. Resistors are located in the air flow duct by the fan, i.e. the resistors that heat up as they lower the voltage are cooled by the air flow that the fan makes. This is why it is the lower speed resistors that usually fail because the air flow is lower. I also think there are more than one speed connected in series so when just one of those burns it takes all of the speeds out that are in that series. I also lost lower 3 fan speeds when it happened.
 
As I said above this writing is with a Pontiac Grand Am but I would not be surprised if your Tahoe would have exactly the same construction for blower fan speed control so look at the air duct around the blower. You might find a small circuit board bolted in the side of it, which has those fan speed resistors built into it. You can probably buy a new one at car part store other than a dealer just as I was able to for My Pontiac.

Did you ever figure out the Air flow problem on your suburban, I am having the same issue.
 
Thanks

I did find out what it was. It is a fan blower resistor. It is located under the glove box. It is extremely easy to fix. I was only able to find the part from GM. Napa did not have it and could not get it for my model year. It took me maybe 10 minutes to take the cover off and switch the part out.
Hope this helps you.

'00 Suburban AC questions... by suburban68

Hi all.
I own a 2000 C1500 Suburban.
HVAC equipment is C60 (front, manual control) and C69 (rear, manual control)
As I can find easily used controls on eBay, is there any way to simply upgrade my AC to electronic control? Is wiring pin to pin compatible?

I have a 2002 Tahoe and the fan works on blower settings 1 - 4 but shuts down on setting 5. Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix? Thanx.

warm air in front cold air in rear by blackpacific1

My 1999 Suburban blows warm AC in the front, and ice cold air in the rear. It also does not have the lower fan speeds, most of the time they are not working, but intermittently they will work, while the high speed position works most of the time. I think this problem might be a bad fan control resistor, but I am not sure how it would impact the front AC operation. Any suggestions?
