My 2005 suburban AC is blowing hot air
If you touched any of the A/C controls within 45 seconds of starting your Suburban (after the battery change), you messed up the 'calibration mode' of the HVAC.
Pull the HVAC fuse (10amp) under the hood, and pull the two adjacent fuses (30 and 10amp) under the dash listed as 'climate control' in the manual.
Push the fuses back in, restart your car, but DONT TOUCH ANY of the A/C controls for 90 seconds.
I bet the A/C starts working again normally.

Do you know how to do scan tool diagnostic's ? Checking DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , viewing input data to the computers on the vehicle . The fuel sending unit is located inside the fuel tank ,it is a input to the PCM - engine computer . The PCM use's this fuel level info . to be able to conduct testing procedures for the evaporative emission system.
The Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) is used to prevent gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere from the fuel tank and fuel system. The EVAP system usually requires no maintenance, but faults can turn on the Check Engine light and prevent a vehicle from passing an OBD II plug-in emissions test..
Shorted sensors can cause all kind of problems .including bring down the five volt reference circuit inside the PCM . Also checking for DTC'S in the 4X4 control module should have been done before replacing parts . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.
Do you know which transfercase your vehicle has ?
The NVG 246 EAU transfer case features a 4 button shift control switch located on the instrument panel.
