Could be in 4x4. Also does it have a limited slip front axle? If it bucks and pops like its in 4wd, could be a problem there. Could also be a problem with one of the drive shafts going out to the wheels. Hope that helps. Oil change in the front diff will tell you a lot more, and relitavily cheap.

SOURCE: 2006 H3 Hummer AC/Heater Fan Motor

I brought my 2006 H3 in to the dealer for the same thing. My blower stopped working all together but it started as an intermittent problem. He said he had to replaced a diode or resistor either behind the switch on the dash that controls the fan or on the fan motor itself. Have not had a problem since but that was only about 4 months ago.

SOURCE: 2006 Hummer H3 fails to start periodically

If you look in the owner's manual it will explain this. Happened to me a bunch of times, really embarassing. It is an additional anti-theft device . If the computer senses that the key is inserted improperly, or that it is not a perfect match for the code it has in its memory for your key, it shuts of the gas supply to your engine for approx. 10 minutes to defer theft. Still happens to me intermittently. Now only very rarely. Total pain. I cleaned my key..carefully, with WD40 and after drying put just a touch of graphite on the key and started the beast a number of times. My dealer didn't read the manual either. You must wait the full ten minutes before trying to restart....otherwise it never totally resets and (the first time this happened to me) you can sit there and fight it forever.

I don't have my owner'smanual handy to refer you directly to the proper pages, but its in there under theft deterent. Hope this helps......and that Hummer can provide aneasy fix for this.

SOURCE: 2006 Hummer H3 a/c & heater fan/blower failed

Probably too late now, I am sure you have already fixed it, but mine did this and it was an electrical part that is mounted right beside the blower fan. The part was OK, but the plug into the part was arcing and burned out the connection. A Chevy mechanic told me this has been happening to MANY Chevy products. I had to buy a new part and plug assembly with new wires, about 100 dollars, and I spliced them together. It was an Easy fix, but I shouldn't have had to do it :(

SOURCE: 2006 hummer h3 has a leak on passenger side under

My 06 was leaking during rain also. It turned out to be the sunroof. There are two drain tubes in the front of the sunroof that run the water down the corners to the ground and two drain tubes that drain water out the back corners. The water would seep around the glass, which is expected, but both of the tubes on the front of mine were plugged, and the water would overflow behind the dash and fill my floorboards. If my H3 was leaning to the left during a storm then the drivers side would be full of water. If leaning right, then the passenger side. I had to open sunroof and blow compressed air into the drain holes to clear them, but be careful, too much air will separate tubes from sunroof and then you will have to remove the inside paneling around sunroof to get to tubes and reconnect. You may only have one side plugged. you can test it by opening sunroof and pour a little water in the small catch pan in the front of the sunroof and see if it drains as expected (to the ground under the firewall on left AND right side). You can see the holes in each corner of catch pan to drain the water. Plug one with your finger, then the other to find the plugged side. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

2006 Hummer h3 ...it only shows 3 positions for the 4x4 a 4with a up arrow a 4 high with a lock and a 4 low with a lock does this mean the vehicle is always in 4wheel drive

The Borg Warner (BW) model 4493/4494 NR4 transfer case is a 2-speed, full-time 4WD, transfer case. The transfer case has an external planetary type differential, which has 2 different sets of pinion gears. The planetary differential provides a 40/60 torque split front/rear full-time. This means the front and rear propeller shafts are constantly being driven for maximum traction in all conditions. A high/low planetary carrier assembly provides the high and low ranges, which is a 6-pinion gear, sun gear, and annulus gear arrangement, giving a 2.64 low range reduction ratio in the BW 4493 and a 4:1 ratio in the BW 4494.

I h an 09 hummer h3, when I'm driving and make a turn the tires fill like they lock up and it's hard to make the turn. I checked my power steering re savour and it is full and there is no leak

Regarding the hard-to-turn feeling with a H3 Hummer. I had the same problem with one of my Hummers. The remedy was quick and simple, but the actual fix was more involved. The remedy was to push the 2x4 button (take it out out of 4 wheel drive). The 4x4 button is very easy to touch and engage when reaching the right side of the dash (for any reason). If the engage light is burned out, there is no way to know that the vehicle is in high range 4x4, except while turning right or left, or when you notice that the 2 x4 light is not lit. The fix is to replace the switch, which is somewhat costly and labor intensive.

2003 Chevy Silverado is making a clunking noise, on and off sometime over bumps. Also a deep grinding type noise in the same location while driving not constant

Hello Karla,

It sounds like you may have a bearing or CV joint going out. Your vehicle will need to be jacked up and inspected. It may be more than one problem too. Its possible the dragging noise could be something between brake pads and rotor, but the grinding that comes and goes in reference to direction sounds like a bearing or joint. I would take it to a professional right away and ask for an estimate only, and then get other estimates from other shops as well. Good luck to you.
