When the blower continues to run will the radio play?

Customer replied 881 days and 2 hours ago.

No. When the key is out of the ignition nothing works but the fan.

Great info. The blower switch is bad or the gray / black wire from the control unit is shorted to ground..The A/c control panel must be replaced as there is no relay to stick closed.

We have already replaced the blower motor resistor. Are you referring to the control panel on the dash?

Picture
Expert:  JHoop replied 881 days and 2 hours ago.

Yes. The blower signal is a ground signal from the control panel and unless someone created this issue, you have a bad A/c dash control unit. JHoop

Customer replied 881 days and 2 hours ago.

Are we talking about the control unit that we control? Where we change from A/C to Heat? Also is this something that can be bought at a junkyard or auto parts store or would we have to go to a dealer?

 

You have been very helpful.

Get a new GM unit from the dealer. There was a bad run of parts and if you get a used one it may happen again.

Sure, it is an easy replacement. The bezel can be had with a small rubber coated screwdriver or your fingers if that strong. Pop the bezel off and there are 4 screws (7mm) and the control comes out.

I will keep your question open. You can get back to me anytime answering any e-mail sent to you related to this question or by logging into your JA account. Thanks again, JHoop
