If it does it at all speeds, I would look at the controller. Loose plug or contact inside it. If it does it only in low speeds or only high, replace the resistor, behind the blower.

Testimonial: "It does it only in cold weather and at any speed. Is the controller hard to get at and is it expensive? What would you suggest to clean the contacts? Thank you for responding"

    The controller is what you use to set speeds and temp. Right in front of you. The bezel pops off, then remove the screws holding it. Plug the plug, check for corrosion. White to greenish color. This can be cleaned with battery cleaner. Spray it on and push it into the plug. Use brake clean to clean that out. You need rags because of being inside the truck. Plug it in and see what happens before putting it all back together.

    As far as taking the controller apart. You better make sure you can get one first. I take all kinds of switches apart. But not always fix them. I figure they are already broke, How much more can I break them. Controllers have many parts in them, they have to go back in the same spot. When it comes to digital controllers, not much you could do there. Unless you do electronics. Yours is not digital.

Hello and welcome. this almost always a bad seat heater element in the seat. the first thing that will need to be done, is have the seat control module scanned for trouble codes. also will need to check the seat heater elements resistances.

Where do you plug in a2003 chevy 2500 diesel when it is going to be cold

If you have a block heater, there will be an extension cord type plug somewhere near or under the front grille (sometimes you need to find the heater and follow the wire to find wherever it got tucked in) That gets plugged into an extension cord from the house power.

Chevy silverado heater stinks

There is a fan control module mounted in the air plenum that is known for going bad.Check the connector where it plug's in under the case below the glove box for a burnt connection.Usually the connectors will melt but it can still be bad where it goe's into case.It need's airflow to cool the resistor,s for the differant blower speeds.
