The fan/ blower inside my ZL1 wont cut off. It doesn't matter if its on heat or AC. We have cut the car off and cut it back on and the fan is still wide open. 1st time this has happened. Any ideas what it could be?

What do you mean? Blower running at full speed? Or the compressor engaged and spinning?

The fan/blower inside the car is stuck wide open.

Possibly a bad relay

Checked fuse box and all those are good. Cold ac blowing no matter what setting it is on and the heated seat buttons do not work either. All else is good to go. Atleast it's blowing cold air instead of heat

tap each relay (not fuse) with the tip of your finger sharply...read on the underside of the plastic shield underhood which relay is the one for the blower motor and unplug it and plug it back.

Thanks Stephen! That worked!

Could be a relay, could be a shorted wire somewhere, could be the resistor, could be the control panel.

EDIT: Glad it was just a stuck relay. If it keeps happening, pick up a new one. They're cheap.

The way everything is computer controlled, it should be an option.
