If your compressor is spinning and you have the automatic climate control, see air blend motor/actuator. If you don't find it in the blazer side check gmc jimmy. Its hidden behind the glovebox up and to the left. Did you ever hear a funny clicking from over there?

My hubby (the autoparts salesman) says our '92 will need a new condensor, hoses (and some other word I can't think of) to get the air blowing cold again (apparently it's gone beyond just the r-12 or whatever it takes). Anyone know what this might cost?

Grrr. I hate R134a by jlflemmons

'99 Blazer 4dr, 2wd. Great little suv, minimal problems, bought it for my son. but whoever designed the AC system should be flogged.
 
It has a very, VERY slow leak. Actually, it had two leaks. We found one and repaired it, the other is yet to be found. My complaint is that the little beast only holds about 32 ounces of R134a freon when fully charged, but if it loses just 4-6 ounces, the compressor starts short cycling and cooling performance drops in half.
 
So, every six months or so I have to buy a $7 can of R134A, use 1/2 or less of it, and head on down the road. Not losing any oil, dye doesn't show up anywhere, so we are talking TINY leak, somewhere.
 
You could throw major bucks at a problem like this, and never fix it.

1990 Chevy Blazer HVAC Controls by burdink

I have a little problem with my Blazers AC controls. Changing the AC settings between Max, Normal, and Bi-level does nothing as far as changing air flow. No matter which setting it try, the air only blows from the floor and dash vents. Any ideas?

I am racking myself trying to finish removing the heater core. I have the entire dash out and removed three bolts under the hood. Are there more? (evidently) How do I get to them?

99 blazer-blower works fine but no warm air. heater core isnt leaking but cant tell by touching hoses if there is circulation. air wont blow through floor but will through vents and defroster. is there a heater control valve or a flap in the air box. whichever it is where is it located- need help with this one-this chevy is about to drive me nuts

Your 99 probably works the same as my 96. There is no heater shutoff valve. Hot water flows through the heater core all the time. You should feel a really hot hose going into the heater. I think it's the outside hose. You should fix this problem first. Disconnect the hoses and see if they are obstructed. hook up a garden hose to the core and see if water flows through it freely. Try heavy doses of radiator cleaner and force water through the core in the reverse direction. Replace the thermostat. It's cheap and easy to replace.
As for the rest. There is a flap that controls if air comes from outside and the AC evaporator or the heater. The actuators go bad. sometimes the bearing doesn't work and the flap rubs against the housing. If the hot water is going through the core and the air is cold this is the problem. There are other flaps for the defroster and the floor. Verify they move and if not determine if the actuator or the control is not working. There could be a damaged or disconnected control vacuum hose. I suggest going to the Chevy dealer and get photocopies of the duct and heater - AC which they will give you for free. It will help you locate the flaps and actuators.
