Problem Reports

Blower motor goes off and on. Sometimes will not work at all then all of the sudden it will start working.

blower not working

I bought my 04 colorado 2wks ago and all the sudden the thing just stopped. I had a new resister put in and it worked for about 6mths and yesterday it went out again. This shound be recalled!

I had the problem where 1,2 and 4 worked and not 3. The recirculate would make a very bad buring smell. I replaced the resistor and the wires. First time around I thought the resistor was bad and trying to save money by doing it myself was not a good idea, but I removed the glove compartment again and found out that I had not placed the wire for the cold/hot setting back to it's place. If this happens, the heater kicks in after a short time because the cold/hot setting ends up in the middle setting. It has been working for a few weeks now. Dealership wanted to replace the blower, wiring and resistor for about $300. I spent around $50 by purchasing the harness and resistor from gmpartsdirect.com.

Blower motor intermittenly won't work on speeds 1-3, but will work on 4. Solution has been to reach down and "wiggle" the wire connects to blower motor resistor. Has been tougher of late, so I unhooked the wiring harness from the resistor and found that the connector was black and looked to have gotten hot at some point. So I shined it up the best I could and bent it tighter so there wouldn't be so much play. Seems to have fixed it for now, I'm sure its just temporary though. Pain in the butt when you're driving an hour home from work on a hot day and the a/c quits 15 minutes in on the highway. Have to alternate from max speed to off/ max speed to off/ max speed to off........
