Heat/AC not working
Hi my heat and my ac arent working. The fan works to blow the air out but it gets neither hot or cold. I brought it to a local mechanic and they said its the climate controller or something to that extent. They said only chevy can work on it.
Has anyone had this problem and if so how much did it end up costing you? Thanks

yea blend door. Super common issue with our rides. I have the same issue and am trying to decide on the Dremel fix or paying someone to fix it. Check youtube and search on the forum. There are how to's and explanations of what you are experiencing and how to fix it. The long, expensive fix requires removal of the windshield and dash.

blend door is very common as stated above. not a diy job unless you know what you're doing. most windshields break upon removal which is required so that plus all the labor of removing the dash is costly.
or look up the dremel fix, either way it sucks to remove or mess with the dash since things can break, crack, make noise, etc. especially if you have the dash crack already, though that problem may be more for the 2010-2011s |

There is also a bulletin I seen that mentions the connector at HVAC controller under the glove box. Seem the connections can loose contact over time and can cause odd things to happen. Fix was to simply remove the plug from the HVAC unit and plug it back in. Worth a shot for free.

I saw a video on the blend door actuator, and it's doable without taking a ton of stuff
apart. The door inside, totally different story. A video shows a guy cut the side out to replace his door. Then epoxy'd it back together. https://youtu.be/Py-2ukNVAGs |

Just did the same thing yesterday on mine. It was a pain to lay upside down, but not too bad for what a dealer would charge. The actuator over rotates past the point it is supposed to and breaks the blend door. Usually when in the hot position. Mine happened because I was dumb and didn't remember to add more coolant when I pulled the head and did a quick test drive and the safe mode came on and turned on the heat and snapped the door. The job isn't too bad once you are familiar with the layout. I suggest ordering the door and the actuator. Plenty of YouTube videos on it by various people.

When this actuator over rotates, is that because something breaks inside it?

The door is plastic and the actuator over rotates which makes it snap in the corner where the actuator is attached. thanks to another member on the forum who posted the following link, this seems to be the best/easiest way to me...check it out....https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2uk...ature=youtu.be
Seems that you would need a Multi Max Dremel tool ($100) and it would allow you to make a clean cut and give you access to replace the door ($10 part on rock auto). Make sure if you do it this way, you retain the 2 bolts that will allow you to re attach the panel once finished. I will be going this route very soon.

I've already had the Instrument cluster, console and the HVAC radio faceplate off few times so now it's really easy for me to do those items. Taking the whole dash apart does seem intimidating, but if I take my time I'm sure I can do it. I just don't want to break anything in the process. |
