Reset the CPU is done with a code reader as the program may be corrupted and tapping the negative will only make it worse.

SOURCE: climate contol air condition blows

This sounds like a problem with the one of the temperature door actuator motors. Depending on which side has the problem- Hot on dr. side when you want heat but cool oin pass. side when you want heat. Or vise-versa. These motos are approx. $75 plus 1 1/2 hours labor to install.

I have a 2000 pontiac grand prix with a digital climate control system. The heat quit working, it doesn't blow out any heat. Now that it is warm outside the air stopped blowing out any air. The digital temperature on the climate control is not correct. When it states that it is below 30 degrees on the ext and it is warm outside the air wont be cold. Once it starts going above 30 degrees the air gets colder. Today the blower stop working all together. Was told it maybe the climate control unit was bad. You can hear the door opening/shutting when you switch the temp from cold to hot. But there was no heat blowing out whatsoever in the winter time. Could you please give me your opinion on whether or not it is the climate control unit or something else?

Hi, My battery on my Bonniville SSE (97) has been

You need to retrieve the BCM (Body Control Module) faulty code with a scanner. Fix any code that you find.
Try to erase any code and see if the problem is solved.

Hope it helps.

Climate control only blows cold air regardless of

check your coolant level, and thermostat, if everything there checks out then it is probally a little door deep within your dash that swings open and closed with the temp settings on climate control, but if you a re low on anti freeze or your themostat is not working it will affect the temp of the air pushed out

How can I fix

This is either an out of phase issue or a temperature control blend door or blend door motor actuator problem, it can also be the climate control module in the dash, 1st try disconnecting the battery for 5 min's to re-sync the climate control module, if this fails u will need to find out what blend door is the problem or if they are ok replace the automatic climate control module in the dash

Climate control does not blow cool air. When I turn the temp down there is no change in air temp. It blows full hot air. Sometimes I can give the dash a smack with my hand and it will blow cool air, but...

you going to have to tear the dash apart (ac control panel) to see why your switch is not working. The control valve unit works on vacum systems and you need to find out where is leaking or the hoses is old and broke off. If your ac compessor still working and blowing cold air but does not adjust the temperature, it will be in the control valve. Is very easy to fix if you locate the leaks or a bad valves. hope that help some.

AC runs cold, then hot, then cold

this sounds like a defective air temperature control sensor, it is located behind the glove box, problem is the part is most likely no longer availiable from Ford..

Climate control panel

These problems are usually caused by a faulty blend door actuator which controls the position of the air mixing door, and in vehicles with more than one air zone (passenger/driver, front/rear, etc.) there will be a door/actuator for each. These electric blend door actuators are self-calibrating - there is a feedback circuit (wiper type potentiometer) that tells your HVAC control the position of the door. It is not unusual for this potentiometer to wear causing loss of signal at various positions, which then will cause erratic movements of the door (if the circuit fails to open circuit or shorting, the door will default to fully open or closed - i.e. hot or cold air only).
