Replying to: dieselissy (Aug 19, 2007 7:06 pm) Compressor was about $170 got it from napa, not too bad to change, take out the battery, and the battery holder as it will give you plenty of room to remove it. the compressor itself only took about 1 hour for remova and install, then however long it takes to get it recharged. That was on a '98 Replies to this message: oldsgeorge (Aug 20, 2007 2:52 pm) top666 (Aug 20, 2007 3:02 pm)

Replying to: top666 (Aug 19, 2007 7:41 pm) Suggest for warranty reasons that you buy the compressor, dryer (accumulator), and orifice tube from the same place. Compressor warranty if void if other items aren't replaced and most won't accept the fact you bought them somewhere else. I had problems finding a dryer, even through the GM dealer. Ended up getting the parts from the local AC Delco parts dealer. Cost more but has one year warranty on the Delco compressor. Good Luck! Replies to this message: top666 (Aug 20, 2007 3:02 pm)

#37 of 102 Re: Climate Control Shuts Off [kristend] by hunter2049 Sep 15, 2007 (9:36 pm)
Replying to: kristend (Jan 27, 2007 1:20 pm) I have a '99 3.5 L V6 with about 80,000 miles on it. Great car and love it to death, but the the following from an unanswered post by kristend earlier in this thread sums up my issue pretty good:   "Some days when I start the car, the climate control works fine. Other times, it wil be completely shut off (no lights, no air, no heat, nothin'.)"   I'll pretty much ditto that. Anyone have any ideas? Most of the time it works, but sometimes (probably about half the time) it doesn't turn on at all. After driving for a little bit, the whole unit, lights, air, and everything else will kick on. Like I say, not an every time issue, but often enough to be annoying. Any help would be greatly apreciated, and feel free to write me at AMCurneshotmail.com if you don't feel like posting here. Thanks! Replies to this message: top666 (Sep 16, 2007 10:38 am)

Replying to: hunter2049 (Sep 15, 2007 9:36 pm) Have not heard of this specifically, but it sounda like it is probably the climate control head unit. Is it possible that it is overheating (the unit itself), or that there is a loose connection to the back of the unit, fuse box relay unit or computer. All of this is a guess, but I would take a good look at the wiring, and trace it back.
#39 of 102 heated seat switch and a.c. charge by rosscm Dec 02, 2007 (10:15 pm)
I just bought an 01 GLS with 33K!  The drivers side heated seat is not working. When I press the switch the orange light comes on for about 4 seconds then goes out. It does the same for HI or LOW temperature settings.   As I was told, air conditioning needs to be charged. Would this affect the heat output? The car has climate control as opposed to traditionally separate buttons for AC and Heat. Warm air was coming out but not warm enough for my ankles.   The recycle air button keeps switching off and the outside air button switches on. Is this some sort of default? I haven't read the manual yet .         I bought the car this afternoon. I will be registering it tomorrow. I plan to have the oil and filter changed tomorrow. Any suggestions on what else I should do for it on my first full day of ownership? Replies to this message: dtownfb (Dec 03, 2007 10:18 am)

Replying to: rosscm (Dec 02, 2007 10:15 pm) Congrats on the Intrigue. I don't have heated seats so I can't comment on that. You may want to check the manual to see if there must be a certain temperature for the seats to operate.   The AC needing freon should not affect the heat. With the auto climate control, it will not blow out hot air until the car warms up. On cold days, it could take a several minutes to feel warm air. Also the climate control system depends on the outside temperature sensor. In other words, you simply set the temperature you want it and the car dictates where the air is comes from (defrost, below, vents, etc.) based on the outside temperature. This may explain why the recirculate button keeps switching off. Is the outside temperature sensor working properly? If not, it is extremely easy to replace.   Along with the oil and filter, i would also get the coolant changed since it is over 5 years old. I would also change the transmission fluid.

my driver side heated seat indicator goes on for about three seconds (both low and high) and shuts off. The heat doesn't come on.
#42 of 102 Signals blinkers Intrigue by rosscm Dec 17, 2007 (2:46 pm)
I drove through some wet slushy conditions last night and the signals stopped working for a bit on both sides. Is there an area along the wire route where I could or should do some water proofing? Is this going to happen alot? I put 185000 miles on my 98 regal and never had an electrical problem.
