Every time I drive at late night time, engine not totally warmed up, this damn temperature gauge would die and the fans will stay on. Sometimes for a whole week if I don't do anything or if I only drive on freeway. It would last 3~5 days if I drive locally and on hot days.
To speed things up, I pulled out the 30A fuse that is for the big blower fan, turned on air condition and drive for 10~15 minutes, miraculously, the gauge then would work and the fans function like they should. Just another stupid programming from Chevrolet engineers.
Update from Oct 21, 2010: It happened again a few more time. I decided to bypass this "PASS LOCK" system based on another web site and the problem went away for good. It involves cutting the yellow wire on the passlock system. I got to remember to put this back when I change my battery or I just replace the battery when they engine is running, then I will be good for another 5 years.
