Air not working....kind of
 

im pissed, ive been looking for like 20 min to see if anyone else on here had this problem, i know people have because i remember seeing the thread but i cant find it now.

so my question is.....how do i fix my air?
when i turn the knob to the first dot----nothing
turn it to the second dot----nothing

then it starts working after the 2nd one.

is there a way to fix it so i can get air out of the vents on the first dot???? it used to work a few months ago, but then it just stopped.

you have the blower motor resistor problem. the "how to" on gagt.com is pretty comprehensive.

my fan used to do that but I took it to my local dealer, now im having problems again, but a little different, my fan motor is burning out, i'll start the car up and keep switching the speeds but nothing happens, until I hit the dash by passenger area, then it starts up. but nyway, you need to get a new fan motor.

does anybody know what the part # is ???? i got a part # off of gagt.com but it didnt work on gmpartsdirect......

so anybody have a number i can try?

oh and thanks for the help jackal

i dont have the part number but if you find it, post it. my wife's car has this problem as well.

I posted
 

I posted it a little while back.. I posted both Ac/delco part number and gm stock replacement #

look through my posts about blower motor resistor

here
 

GM part # 89018413
The # changes alot.. but this is accurate to 1 month ago when I changed mine

just go 2 ur local autozone n get a blower motor resistor. is was like 14.99 by ac delco. and go 2 some mechanic shop and hav them replace the old one. dats what i did! they charged me 20 bucks. and it took about 5-10 minutes

good advice
 

Good advice.. but save yourself the 20 $ install..


Its BRUTALLY simple to swap out..

Its just hard to find a comfortable position to swap it out..

If you were to sit in the passenger seat.. and extend your feet and legs as far as you could, your right foot(toes) would be touching the blower resistor.

Take off your plastic cover piece under the glove box, and its there right at the back infront of the firewall, beside the blower motor..

took me all of 20 mins, 10 minutes to find a pillow to lay sideways on..

Good luck

I got the same prob, looks like im gonna be doin that before spring and summer roll along

thanks for the part #, and yea dont worry im not getting it put on by someone else, im going to do it myself, its easy, and im gonna go to autozone within the next few days to pick up the part.

yea well i finally changed out the old blower motor resistor and put the new one in yesterday. Let me tell you, that damn bolt in the back was a PAIN IN THE ASS to get off. wow. now half my upper body is sore cause i was in a weird position for about an hour. lol. but in the end its nice to do stuff yourself, instead of paying someone a crap load of money. WOOHOO fan speed 1 and 2 work!!!:lol:

I put a new one in and it crapped out on me again. you need a special tool to get that damn bolt out in the back, took me an hour and still nothing cuz I didnt have the right tool,

so what did u use billy?

its a elbow extension or something like for your ratchet

yea well you gotta take the blower out, u wont get it unless u take that out. so just unscrew those 3 bolts that hold the blower on and pull it down, then you will be able to get at the back bolt. lol i wish i did that a lot earlier, but w/e, i learned.

i think j{}n has a blower resistor up for sale in the bazzar
