problem #4

Impala 4D 3.4L V6

  • Automatic transmission

The first shop I took the car to said most likely it was the blower motor. Dealership said it was a module($240.00). The next time it was probably another module for who knows how much. My Tech checked it all out and determined that it was the long hot wire(red) and he has bypassed it and all works well. He determined that the open was under the dash and decided it would be easier to bypass the harness with a new hot.

This can be dangerous situation during rain storm because of the defroster not clearing the windshield; not to mention the discomfort of the extreme heat or cold.. My tech is checking out the hot wire from the fuse block and all junctions to the blower. He thinks there is an open somewhere. There is another intermittent problem with this '04 Impala, the turn signals quit intermittently; however this hasn't happened lately. I read in another forum that this could be repaired by replacing the hazard flasher switch on the instr. panel.

My issue is the exact same issue as the Rev. in Illinois. I am wondering if anyone has found a solution.

problem #1

(reported on)

Impala 3.2 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,500 miles

Hit a bump in road with panel air (no A/C on) or with AC on. Even with blower fan turned up to max, the fan quickly ceases to operate. The a/c and fan blower motor has stayed off, overnight, even when parked. The lights and buttons all work on the control module (recirculated air/fresh air; a/c and the rwd all come on when pressed).

Dealer thinks it's a bad control module, to the tune of $240 for part before adding the labor.

We've checked and double checked the fuses, fusable link in the engine compartment that controls the blower motor, and the darn thing still intermittently operates when it wants to.

I am beginning to believe that this part/system is becoming "possessed" by unclean spirits or something.

HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM, SOMEONE!
