This week I had the same problem with my Buick R-vous now did exactly what your's did cut off intermintly then totally stopped all together, any ways I checked the two fuses seemed good none burnt ok next day I pulled fuses back out wiggled them around then plugged back then then I pulled the under the glove box cover that houses the fan motor and looked at it , I paused a minute turn the key on didn't start the motor but turned the key to where all the electronics would function then got back under the glove box then I took my hand and turned the fan switch on all the way and it made a clicking sound when turned to full blast then I would turn fan switch off then on to full blast again and there was that clicking sound again under the glove box so pull the panel under the glove box and wiggle the wires because mine is working again . You do have your owners manual right check your fuses first then check wire connections but Mine did everything yours did

#13 of 21 Climate Control Temp Settings by azpete23

Anyone had any issues with erratic temp settings on the auto climate control.
My '02 does not respond properly when I adjust the desired temp setting left knob.
The setting jumps all over the place; but mostly in the 85-90 degree range. Not a problem in the winter here in Phoenix but come summer I need to get that baby down to a more comfortable setting. Any idea what is causing this?
Dirty contacts on the module? This was the cause on an old PU I had in the early 90s. A quick clean of the module contacts and the system worked fine.
Any ideas? I'm not looking forward to tearing apart the dash to get at this thing.
Thanks.....

The first settings work fine but the last fan setting doesn't work. Is this worth the repair or should I just continue without it like I have been for the last year? I suspect the repair is not worth the hassle.........
 
Thanks

Hi - I have 02 Buick Rendezvous too - bout 1 1/2 yrs ago the air started blowing less and less on the 1st 3 settings - then it ONLY worked on the 4th setting - didnt even work on the 5th setting - this is the case whether I want heat or air. Last summer they had to replace the ENTIRE Condensor unit (thank GOD i took the extended warranty!!!) and it is currently in the shop today because the air is only working on the 4th setting AGAIN!! Just to let you know - this make/model is a LEMON has a myraid of various recurring problems - my suggestion - trade it in if you can!!

Thanks for reading this, on my 02 Rendezvous HVAC, the mode button wont switch the blowing air from the face, it will show on the control as its should be blowing to the feet, it just stays in the face, and if you put the defrost on it still blows to the face but will also show it should be on the defrost. I am just looking where to start to find the bad part...Thanks once again...

Did you ever get a resolution to this? If so, how was it resolved. I am having the same problem with my vehicle...

yes i did get it working again i took every fuse out and reinserted them to make sure they were getting a good connection and i think it also rebooted the system all i know is that after doing this it started working again i hope this info helps out.

try taking out the cabin air filter located in the glove box and try it with it out.
