Climate control fan switch

The speed control switch for the climate control fan motor on my 1996 GMC 4x4 mid size Jimmy operates just fine on the low and medium settings. When moved to the high setting the blower fan shuts off. The heating and cooling systems work great. Just the issue of not being able to get full use from the fan. Wondering if the problem is with the control switch itself or the fan motor. Not sure which to look at possibly replacing/repairing.

SOURCE: Fan speed switch only works on #5

Call your local GMC Dealer and see if they have the climate control panel in stock. What happens is the circuit board on the back of the panel shorts out. The panel comes as an assembly and is very easy to replace. Don't go with a wrecking yard piece. I made that mistake once and it didn't work either. I got one from the Chevy dealer and it worked perfectly.

replace the A/C control head... very simple to do. Pop off the dash panel and pull the control head out... unplug the 3 harnesses and there you go.

SOURCE: 99 Yukon - Blower Motor Not Working

If you have already changed the blower motor, than ignore my comment. My 99 Suburban blower didn't work on low speed, only medium high and high. I thought it was the resistor pack, so I changed it. The low speeds then worked, but I quickly noticed a burning smell at the two lowest speeds. I turned it off quick not to burn up the new resistor pack. I noticed one terminal of the fan switch wire connector looked to have gotten very hot in the past. I changed the fan switch but no change in symptoms. Still smelt like burning at low speeds. The motor appeared to work fine durning all this, but with nothing else to try we swapped out the motor for a new one and that sloved all the problems. The original motor was wearing out and though running fine was pulling to many amps through the fan switch and resistor pack. For those that haven't replaced the blower motor yet, I'd advise doing this as preventative maintaince so you don't burn up the resistor pack, fan switch, or wiring.

Your new resistor should contain a built in relay. Sounds like that is sticking, swap the new part for another as it could be that you got a bummed replacement.

2009 GMC Sierra. Windshield wipers work sometimes and sometimes they don't. Are there any common reasons for this

Lose connections , Switch , BCM - body control module , wiper control relays . wiper motor going bad etc.... Taking the vehicle to a qualified repair shop to have it diagnosed would be your best bet . Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in the BCM . There is nothing commom about these systems .

The windshield wiper/washer switch signal circuits are inputs to the body control module (BCM) and the BCM controls wiper motor low speed operation, washer pump and high speed operation. The windshield wiper/washer switch is provided a low reference from the BCM and each of the switch signal circuits is supplied 12 volts through a resistor and monitored within the BCM. During LOW or INTERMITTENT operation the wiper switch low signal circuit is closed to the low reference circuit through a series of resistors within the switch assembly and the signal circuit voltage monitored by the BCM will depend on the switch contact location to the resistor assembly. During HIGH or WASH operation the high and wash switch signal circuits are closed directly to the low reference circuit within the switch assembly and nearly all the signal circuit voltage will be dropped across the BCM resistors. The BCM controls the wiper motor through the WIPER CONTROL PCB Relay and the WIPER SPEED PCB Relay. During any wiper motor function that uses low speed the BCM supplies the voltage to energize the WIPER CONTROL PCB Relay and battery voltage will be supplied from the WIPER CONTROL PCB Relay through the de-energized WIPER SPEED PCB Relay to the wiper motor low speed control circuit. During high speed wiper motor operation the WIPER CONTROL PCB Relay is energized as in low speed and the BCM provides a ground to energize the WIPER SPEED PCB Relay and the battery voltage is supplied to the wiper motor high speed control circuit. Wiper motor park operation is controlled by the BCM using an input from the park switch within the wiper motor assembly. The BCM supplies the park switch signal circuit 12 volts through a resistor then monitors the circuit. Whenever the wiper motor is out of the park position the park switch signal circuit is closed to ground and nearly all the signal circuit voltage will be dropped across the BCM resistor. When the wiper switch is turned to the OFF position while the wiper motor is somewhere in mid-cycle, the BCM will continue to operate the motor until the wipers reach the park position. If the ignition is turned OFF while the wipers are in mid-cycle, the wipers will stop immediately where they are and the BCM will park the wipers the next time the ignition is cycled ON.

I have a 2009 GMC Yukon and the intermittent wipers don’t work. Where is the pulse control board located and what is the model number?

Yukon what ? just a plain yukon ? 2WD or 4WD XL - Denali etc...
No pulse board . controlled by the BCM - body control module . Taking the vehicle to a qualified repair would be your best bet .

I have a 2009 gmc sierra, where is the wiper relay location.

The PCB wiper relays are soldered directly to circuit board inside the under hood fuse box.
The windshield wiper/washer switch signal circuits are inputs to the body control module (BCM) and the BCM controls wiper motor low speed operation, washer pump and high speed operation. The windshield wiper/washer switch is provided a low reference from the BCM and each of the switch signal circuits is supplied 12 volts through a resistor and monitored within the BCM. During LOW or INTERMITTENT operation the wiper switch low signal circuit is closed to the low reference circuit through a series of resistors within the switch assembly and the signal circuit voltage monitored by the BCM will depend on the switch contact location to the resistor assembly.

Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes .

The body control module (BCM) controls the wiper motor based on input from the windshield wiper washer switch. The BCM monitors the wiper washer switch through three separate signal circuits and a ground circuit. The windshield wiper switch high signal circuit is used to determine high speed wiper operation, the windshield wiper switch low signal is used to determine low speed, intermittent, and mist operation through the use of a resistor ladder, and windshield washer switch signal circuit is used to determine washer operation.
The BCM controls the windshield wiper motor through two output controls, controlling two relays which determine the desired wiper speed, high or low.
Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop or dealer . Hooking up a factory scan tool to see what the wiper switch inputs to the BCM are correct and outputs to relays are good .

Blower fan does not work, so I replaced the blower, the blower resistor and the interior fan speed control unit, still can't get the fan going

did you check the climate control module,check first if you are getting power to the blower motor and go from there.
