Right now it's not major because in AZ you need the blower on high, but in a month when we move to MN where sometimes you only need the lower settings, this will really suck.

I need help locating the blower fan resister. I know it is supposed to be on a fire wall but I don't know what it looks like or if it is in a relay pack. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

number 2 on the settings never worked my first winter but all the other setting worked just fine....... now that i am into my 8th winter with this car i am realizing that only 1 barely works... 2 still doesn't and now 3 doesn't either 4 works and 5 seems to (and always has blown cooler air.)

The electrical problems on this car are terrible ! Maybe they are caused by a leak somewhere above the fan motor .

I have had this car for a while have had a problem with the ac working on anything but settings 3, 4 and 5. Also the AC Button will cut off all on its own. It is a real pain to deal with this especially when it is extremely hot out!

The AC doesn't work unless it is on a setting 3 or higher.

I got my car at 54K miles and found out the blower didn't work on a/c or heat from settings 1-3, then at 60K 4 went out... now at 78K 5 went out today, in 100* weather.. and I travel in my car all day for work.. talk about a pain. Anyone know a fix? cost?

Yet another thing wrong with this car! Washer pump, water pump, fuel pump, fuel filters (3 in 30,000 miles), Brakes, Mirrors, Door Lock Actuator, and of course the AC!!! What a POS car!

Blower didn't work at all on settings 1 & 2 but worked for 3, 4 and 5

Right in the middle of winter this thing wants to
die on me... that's just one of MANY things. I would
need an entire day to list the issues i've had with
this piece of sh*t car.

Settings 1 and 2 just stopped working.
- David M., Green Bay, WI, US
Resistor pack failed again, the first time was at about 100,000 miles and only failed on fan speed 1 and 2. This time 1,2, and 3 all failed. It is my wife's car, which she drives a lot to and from work so I feel bad that she has to drive this GM piece of crap. The only reason we keep it is because it is paid off.

Mine only works on settings 4 and 5. Setting 3 was working for about 6 months. Does anyone know the part number and cost to replace that relay pack? Thanks...

This is another example of GM's poor quality. buy the cheapest part no quality control. I just hate to buy a Japanese car. I want to buy American, why doesn't GM want to be the best?
- Jim O., Fredericksburg, VA, US
Purchased car in 2002 w/36,000 miles. Within 2 years the fan died on settings 1 & 2 and then last winter 2005 settings 3 & 4 have died. Now all I have is setting 5, so I'm either roasting or freezing and it's very annoying. Chevy should do someting to help minimize cost to repair! If this was one of their trucks, SUV's or corvette, you can be assured they'd do something!

My heater has never worked on the 1st 2 settings. I have just dealt with it forever. I cant believe it seems to be a pretty common problem on these cars. it seems like this is another GM defect.

third time replaced; in our Canadian winters this borders on being a safety hazard.
- George R., Lefroy, Ontario, Canada
replaced the resistor pack 3 times; each one was an `improved' model.

Had to have dealer replace fuse part cost was around $200
