Main3s Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 So I have absolutly no air, hot or cold coming from my car. It just decided to one day stop working. Anyone here got the hook up on car heating and cooling. It didn't bother me much the past couple months becuase the weather has been mild, but when I left for work this morning and it was 58* out, I was a little chilly and only had the heated seat to warm me. The car is an 01 Pontiac Grand Prix so if anyone could help or knows of good place to get work done, I'd appericate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 prob just needs a blower. they are easy. go get 1 and throw it in. +1, or even a fuse! sometimes its super stupid and easy on gm's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Did you check fuses if everything just stopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Does the blower motor even kick on? Fuses? Relays. Bunch of stuff could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Oh... So the blowers are really easy to replace and what you're saying is that I'm lazy. I get it, well in that case I'll start looking for a blower and I checked the fuses they were good, it's never the simple things with my car.

Buck531 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah the motor is under the glove box. I'm pretty sure you just need to pull out the glove box and the carpeting behind it and it's right there. Answer the question. Does it even kick on? If it does it might be something else. If it's blowing and nothing is coming out it's something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 blower motor resistors are more common than a blower and can cause the issue when the connector melts. i have done alot of these, easy to check too. try and unplug the connector, if it comes apart look at the end for melting. if you don't see any check power and ground and pull the resistor out, you'll need a 5.5mm socket.

Agreed. If it's not blowing out at all, it's most likely the resistor. Common issue on these cars. Have you tried all the speed settings? For some reason my friend's 01 GP, nothing will come out, except when you turn the dial all the way up to high it will actually work.

Main3s Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nope, nothing. It's not making noise or kicking on... just, well, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nope, nothing. It's not making noise or kicking on... just, well, nothing. I would check the fuse then the resistors then the switch before I pulled the blower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 check the resistor.. unbolt it and pull it out.. will will see the burns in it. and some of these like to melt the harness aswell. that would be another sign of fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Most likely the resistor. Located somewhere on the squirrel cage. I see our mechanics have stepped in already.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Will this be a pain in the ass to do? depends on if you have the right tools or not. short 1/4 drive 5.5 swivle with a 6" ext. is what i always use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
