#12 of 31 A/C Issues Too by caliberchic May 03, 2007 (12:09 pm)
Replying to: ray80 (Jun 11, 2007 2:51 pm) My Aztek had the air conditioning unit fixed in 2005 to the tune of $1,000. A fan wasn't working properly. I just trader her in and the dealer is made because they had to drop $1,400 into the air conditioner because it yet again was on the fritz. Not sure the problem but I do know it wasn't blowing cold air prior to trade, we recharged it some but thought it just needed more freon.

Replying to: kcossairt (May 02, 2007 5:31 pm) I have a question, where is the bcm...and how do I get it out. I am having cold start issues....Aztek needs to be jump started every morning, will run fine all day re-starting is no issue. Dash lights went out, no blown fuse.
#14 of 31 my process for remove/inst BCM by kcossairt May 16, 2007 (6:19 am)
Replying to: ray80 (Jun 11, 2007 2:51 pm) disclaimer: this is just what I had to (not official)   disconnect the battery remove the cooler remove the cup tray removed and lift up the lower console (cooler holder) remove piece around gear lever area that has the rubber seal remove (pry back) both side covers for console lower sides    on top of the column of electrical connectors is the BCM lying flat. Remove the two large connectors from the driver's side and pop a couple of tabs so the column pushes out the passenger side for access.   swap out the BCM and then reverse the steps above   Note:I re-installed only the screws I felt were required so if I ever have to change the BCM again it would take less than an hour.

Replying to: kcossairt (May 16, 2007 6:19 am) Wow! Thanks very much for sharing that. I've been needing to replace my BCM but have worried about having to reprogram afterward. Was any reprogramming required for you? (I would presume I would have reprogram the door locks).   My BCM (2001 Aztek) has been slowly going berserk for the past several months. Right now I have to pull the BCM fuse and reset it to open the back hatch. After the interior of the vehicle warms up, the security system goes off, the lights flash and you can hear the BCM resetting the whole system (clicking sound) as the panel goes on and off!
#16 of 31 what is.... by wearesaylors Jun 03, 2007 (10:08 am)
Replying to: ray80 (Jun 11, 2007 2:51 pm) What is the BCM? May apologies for not knowing. I just got a 2001 Pontiac Aztek. I was not more than 1 hour away from the dealer and the engine died. I kid you not, the engine died. So, the engine is getting replaced at their expense, but I want to know more about the car. I have read a fair amount about the BCM, but I do not know what it is.

Replying to: wearesaylors (Jun 03, 2007 10:08 am) BCM is Body Control Module. It has its hands in variuos electrical functions (outside of engine functions) such as radio/lighting/ perhaps HVAC controls, things like that

Replying to: ray80 (Jun 11, 2007 2:51 pm) Thanks Ray80. I see your name all over this board. How do you know so much about the Aztek's? Replies to this message: ray80 (Jul 12, 2007 9:14 am) wearesaylors (Jul 15, 2007 10:45 am)

Replying to: wearesaylors (Jul 12, 2007 8:44 am) Well we have had ours for quite a while, and I like to keep an eye out for potential troubles plus share solutions I have seen. (My username could be surfsthenetalot ) Replies to this message: wearesaylors (Jul 15, 2007 10:45 am)

Replying to: ray80 (Jul 12, 2007 9:14 am) Thats fantastic. We have had ours for a month and a half. We had to replace the engine right away. I am pretty sure that the previous owners have never heard of the phrase "vehicle maintenance." So the engine was rotten, but the one we put in seems to be fairly solid. Now, I am just to work on the "quirks" of this vehicle (i.e. the key being stuck in the ignition if you dont shift to park just right just to name one example.) But I think that i will be on this board for awhile, since I know the engines and I love this car.
#21 of 31 AC problems by rarmstrong Jul 23, 2007 (9:57 pm)
Replying to: ray80 (Jun 11, 2007 2:51 pm) My 02' Aztek Air Condtioning works fine most of the time. We recently replaced the coil/rad thing for a few dollars. It will pretty much work all the time but if it sits idleing for a few minutes it seems to put out HOT air. Does anyone else have this problem? rob armstrong   redbeardtheroadguyhotmail.com Replies to this message: ray80 (Jul 24, 2007 4:34 am)
