Heater Blower Speed Knob

Yesterday when i started my car, the first 2 blower speeds would not work. Has anyone had this problem? If so let me know. Thanks

I have this same problem, I think it is a common problem with alero's.

Yup yup, you're not alone. It's the blower motor resistor. Less than $20 from your friendly local Olds dealer (or Pontiac if Olds is bye-bye). You'll find instructions on here how to replace it, it's not hard, just uncomfortable. You'll have to get under the dash on the passenger side.

YOU NEED A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. iT LOOKS LIKE A CIRCUIT BOARD AND GOES UNDER THE PASS. SIDE DASH IN THE AIR DUCTS. ABOUT $30 AT YOUR DEALER.

Damn slow computer, I would've been first!

Muahaha. You can't be answering ALL the questions.

Yeah, I just had this happen. Haven't fixed it yet. My head's been so stuffed up from competing weather fronts moving through here that I just didn't feel like doing any of the contortions needed to replace the part!

Mine actually only works on high. Pretty damn annoying. I'll fix it one of these days.

yeah , mine did that to me too. I fixed it,but it was a real pain in the butt.
The part was cheap and I installed the new one in about an hour or two.

It goes under the panel in the passengers side, ALL the way back to the firewall. you need a screw driver for the little screws that hold the plastic panel, then you have to pt your head where your feet go , basicaly you sit upside down and reach all the up to the firewall. it looks like a little green plug. You need to remove this with an elbow adapter because the 2nd screw is hard to reach with a straight one, then just slide the new one in , and it should work.
Don't bother going to a mech. for 30 bucs an hour when you can do it in your driveway on afternoon.
