Grand Prix GTP 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,650 miles

Blower motor will only work on level 5 on switch, doesn't work at all on 1 - 4 levels, haven't had it looked at yet, hoping it isn't a big cost job. Hoping it may be a sensor, has anyone else had this problem?

Grand Prix GT 3.8 V-6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,000 miles

The Blower motor with the heating unit, will only blow hot or cold air, if it is on the high position(5). Not other selection works (1-4).

Is this happening to anyone else? A real pain in the as* due to the summer months and would like the ac on a little, not full blast you can hardly hear the radio. And in the winter months its great, until your skin wants to peel off your skull due to the excessive heat. I'm hoping its a sensor or something small.

When I start my car and turn on the heater, the blower does not come on. I live in -35 weather for 5 months out of the year, I need a fix for this problem
