Heat will stay on high until turn engine off and back on

If I raise the temp in 2000 gmc sierra 1500, it will continuously blow hot air even if I turn temp dial to cool. Only way to stop this is to shut truck off, then restart.

Running cooler than normal (indicated by temp gauge), hot air not hot, thermostat not the problem (recently replaced), check engine light NOT on.

as far as the temp of the air blowing...it in direct proportion to engine coolant temp...try a hotter thermostat....as for the faan running continuously that is a seperate problem and sounds like a faulty rheostat or fan switch...rheostat is elect, switch on the fan motor that enables different speeds and may beinternal on your truck. only parts store will know . if it is replace fan motor. if not , test switch and then test rheostat

2000 gmc sierra 1500 blow hot air but the air is in the dash not coming out of the vents, why?

Usually a sign of a faulty blend door.
The blend doors direct air thru the heater core and out thru the vents.

I have no heat in my 2000 chevrolet Z71 p/u, even after changing thermostat. When I turn temp indicator dial ther is no change in air coming out of vents.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6235876-no_heat_fan_blowing_cold_air . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - heater blows, but only cold air

Check coolant level. Check for heat at the heater hose going from water pump to heater core at firewall. Check to see that cable is moving coolant control valve from the closed to open position. Low mileage so it shouldn't be plugged heater core.

My a/c work but sometime it blows hot on the left side only it

Probably your left temp actuator failed internally. Check the right instrument panel junction block-right side, end of dash-to make sure connectors are fully seated. But thisis usually caused by a faulty temp actuator.

2000 gmc sierra 1500 5.3 v8. a/c heater control problem

your heat/cool and vent selection options are controlled by engine vacuum through small clear tubes attached to the rear of your climate control interface. Other vehicles have small steel pull wires that operate the desired changes. You might try removing the trim and any fasteners affiliated with the interface/console. GENTLY pull outward and look to see if any of these tubes are pulled off or cut/damaged. Did anyone recently install a new stereo in the vehicle? If so, the vacuum tubing and or pull wires that change your outlets could have been damaged when the stereo unit was pushed into place. Hope this helps

2000 gmc sierra 5.3l heater does not get hot

After replacing the thermostat I pulled the heater hoses off and blew air through the heater core at firewall. Can only blow in left side as directional valves will prevent opposite. Chunks of stuff came out with coolant. I then put a piece of hose on the left side and shot water through until it came out clear.
Put it all back together and heat works fine.
