Re: 06 blower problem

they are bad about doing that i bleive it is the blower resistor that causes it you replace the whole harness which only gm sells

Re: 06 blower problem

If it is the resistor or reostat it can be replaced by it self. it is in the duct work under the glove box area. you will need to remove the cover under the dash to see it. You can remove it and see if it has a burnt look . If I remember right it takes a 5.5 mm socket.
IT may also be the switch going bad.

Re: 06 blower problem

It very well could be the switch , I was suggesting checking the rheostat because it is easier to get to and would eliminate it as a possibility. when they usually go out you lose a blower speed or two. but if it shorted it might be possible to cause the blower to do odd things.
