THE DRIVER'S SIDE AC RANDOMLY STARTS BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE WE ARE DRIVING ALONG IN OUR 2004 SILVERADO WHICH STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AT ABOUT 80K MILES. IN ORDER TO GET THE AC BACK, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURNOFF THE ENGINE AND THEN START IT BACK UP. SOME DAYS IT NEVER DOES IT, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES AND USUALLY ON THE FREEWAY BUT SOMETIMES ON CITY STREETS TOO. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE SPEEDOMETER, AND OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL ISSUES THAT HAVE HAD TO BE REPAIRED OVER THE LAST 2-3 YEARS (AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED). *TR
PROBLEM 1.THE PLUG THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MELTED AND STARTED SMOKING. I REPLACED IT AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHOUT THE USE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR I CAN NOT USE THE HEAT,AC OR WINDOW DEFOGGER. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR PLUGS HAVE MELTED AND IN SOME CASES HAVE ALSO STARTED FIRES. NOT HAVING A WINDOW DEFOGGER IS VERY DANGEROUS. PROBLEM 2. THE HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHAT THIS DID BEFORE THE PLUG MELTED WAS TO CONTROL THE TEMP OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. WHEN IT STOPS WORKING LIKE IT DID TO ME WAS TO BLOW BURNING HOT AIR RIGHT IN MY FACE EVEN WITH THE AC ON. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND HAVE THESE THINGS...
SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ARE DELAMINATING. *TR
