problem #1

Nov 152011

Impala 3.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

My blower motor went out on me in 10 degree weather. The only way I got heat was when I was moving for the vent bowing in. It would randomly come on a off. I thought it was the switch. I went to the junk yard and got a different one and it worked, for a while. It then happened again so i returned that one and got another worked for a while and the same thing again. So I went to the dealer and got a new one for 300$, way to much for crap. It worked for an hour. You cant return electrical parts to the dealer once you plug them in. I played with all the wires leading to the blower motor and found a main power supply wire located directly behind the unit in a harness had a bad spot in the harness causing the blower to work a short time after I would replace the unit. So I took the sh*tty harness out of the equation and now it works great. I got stuck with the dealer part. Only good thing was all the lights work on it (for now). These are nice cars once all the bugs are worked out but if you are buying one make sure the tranny was rebuilt. This will never steer towards the problematic honda and toyotas.
