Could be the blower motor, the resistor, or the control on the dash.
You'll need to check the circuit for voltage when it fails to work.

SOURCE: The Heater fan in my 2003 GMC Yukon XL will not turn off

I don't know if you already fixed it, but I had the same problem on my 03 yukon, TysonRicky is right. In my case it was the blower control module. You can find it right under the glovebox. It cost me close to $100 for a new one, but very easy to replace. Can't even imagine how much it would've cost me if I had a mechanic do it.

Remove bulb, make sure it sits tight in the socket. make sure socket is not burnt up (brown or black in color) Check bulb, if the filament inside is loose or discolored, replace as nesessary. Check brake light switch under driver side dash above brake pedal. make sure it is adjusted correctly.

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

Front blower fan isnt working

It is not intended to run all the time,just when engine reaches required heat range causing it to come on as to cool system down. Now if your car is overheating and fan does not kick on then this would indicate that heat range sensor that tells fan when to come on has failed....hope this info help and good luck...please rate my post and feel free to contact me for futher informatiom if needed...

The in dash fan is only working intermittently. Usually it has plenty of power but now when it does work it has very little force. The rear seat area fan has stopped working completely. Is this a computer...

if it works in any position low-to-high then it is the blower motor. if it only works on high or works well on high but no where else it is the resistor. Good luck!

2005 yukon denali xl heater fan stop working the front work sometime

I have a pontiac that had the same issue. It was a corroded connection at the blower fan. Usually located at the back of the engin comp, on whats called the fire wall. I cut off the original connector and installed aftermarket electrical slotted female clips. There are only two wires so it was easy and fast. you shoud see two slot style pins sticking out from the fan housing underneath the rubber electrical cap. Second possibility is a fuse. Check your manual for location and size.

When i hook my trailor's lights to my 2003 yukon xl, park lights doesnt work, but all other lights work

You mean the truck parking lights dont work, or the trailer running lights dont work? Does the trailer just have tail lights or does it have front and rear side markers? I think you mean the trailer lights. Check for power at the plug,(Brown Wire) if there is power, then you could have wiring problems, but a better description of what works and what doesnt work needs defining.

2003 GMC Yukon XL All gauges on instrument panel stopped working. They all stopped at 0, including spedometer, rpms, fuel, oil, etc. The electrical odometer is still working. Is this a fuse problem or does...

If this is an intermittent problem,
remove the IPC 10A fuse in the fuse box under the hood,
not in the fuse panel by the driver side door,
for 5 minutes.
The electronics will reset.
