My 2008 Envoy Denali's heater blower is intermittent. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Usually if it does not work when I start the vehicle, I can restart the car a couple of times and the blower will then come on. If I turn the car off while the blower is working, it continues to run. Once the blower is on, if I try to change the blower speed, it may shut the unit off. again, sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't. I am mechanically inclined and would like to fix myself if possible..

    With the glove box out, the bottom cowling off and the side entry off I can find no such device. The entire fan unit is there Delphi-Delco 15826950. But unless the module is inside the fan unit, I do not see it? I notice my message above also has something added about a 2005 envoy XL. I wanted to make sure you were referring to a 2008 Envoy Denali. thank you.. larry

    Thank you for all your work. That was the item I removed when you first wrote. But when I took it off it did not look like the picture so I reinstalled it. I have removed it again. It has the Red...Purple/White...Black wire, and the Purple and Black go to the fan. However, having removed it, it still does not like like the picture. It is Carter Group 52416100. When I run it through google, I get AC Delco 15-80906 Control Module Kit (pictured below). It is identified for the 2008 Envoy as HTR & BLO & A/C CONT - A/C FRT AUTO/AUX CONT. So I am assuming this is the item you want me to replace?


    The vehicle is about 3 months out of warranty. The web site tells me that the model number you gave me, 15-80863 is not for the 2008 Envoy. I was wondering if it was the replacement module but it doesn't seem so. I am also wondering if I buy the 15-80906 module identified for my vehicle, if it has been updated or if I will still have the same problems?


    Again, thank you for all the research you have done.. larry

    "Saailer" was right on the mark. The descriptions, locations.. etc...made this an extremely easy repair that I know would have been several hundreds of dollars if I had taken it in. My many thanks to "Saailer", and thanks "lledsled" for the confirmation..

I would replace the module at this point due to the intermittent condition and it should solve this issue. As for the module being updated, I'm not aware of a design issue with this part, and it just happended to go bad.

Hello! The Blower Motor Resistor Assembly, which is located behind the glove box is the problem...See photo below...Replace the assembly...While connector is off inspect pins with a magnifying glass and a bright light for bent or loose pins...GM is noted for poor connectors...

    Hello! There is an error in the repair manual as to whether the vehicle is equipped with Automatic A/C or manual...If your vehicle has Automatic A/C there isn't a blower motor assembly...Instead, the defective component is the Blower Control Module...See picture below of the blower motor resistor located behind the passenger hush panel...this is for a vehicle with Manual A/C...




    The Blower Motor Control Module is mounted to the HVAC module with a connector having the following wire colors...Red...Purple/White...Black...Two other wires are...Purple And Black

    Cost is around $135.....................sorry for the confusion...Saailer

I REPLACED THE TRANFER CASE MOTOR AND SELECTOR SWITCH FOR THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND STILL DOESNT WORK ON MY 2008 GMC ENVOY DENALI AND SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

Your problem is probably your actuator switch in the front differntial. it is an electronic switch and they sometimes stick or burn out .1A auto parts .com shows how to remove it on u tube . you remove an elector connector and than the switch un screws. sometimes easy but I have had to heat them with a torch to get them out. Go to google type in how to remove actuator switch chevrolet . it should bring up the video. I beleve this will solve your problem if this was helpful please leave good feed back

2008 ford expedition front ac heater

I will try to answer and offer you a couple of choices based on 2 different potential problems.

The blower motor resistor is the control for both the heater fan blower and the A/C since they are the same blower motor. It is the boost that you need to feel either heat or A/C through the vents. The part can be traced from the heater blower wires under the hood to a control about the middle of the Firewall. 2 bolts hold it in place with 1 connector wire. But a heater line will likely block access to switching the part. It is often a part that tapping will start it working again.

Another A/C intermittent problem is low Freon. A certain pressure will engage the A/C compressor switch. Since outside air temperature can boost the internal pressure remaining in your A/C system, every time it expands the Freon; your system may work.

My heater periodically works in my 99 ingrigue. Super frusturating. When i start it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

The temperature display and the heater function are likely two different issues. I had a similar issue with intermittent heat on my 2001 Aurora. In my case it turned out to be the blower motor. As a vehicle ages and the bearings on the motor start going bad, the amount of energy it takes to spin the motor gets higher and higher. This can result in intermittent behavior or cause the heater resistors to go bad. It is also possible that the heater control itself is the issue, but with the age of this vehicle, I would start with the blower motor and then heater resistors.

Heat sometimes works in 2003 envoy

First I recommend checking that your coolant level is good. Please check this cold so you don't risk getting burned. I have seen too many heater complaints where the coolant level was simply too low to fill the heater core. Next, you should check if the heater control valve is operating. I don't have any GM experience, but heater valves are often the cause of intermittent heater operation in many cars. Good luck!

Heater fan runs part of time

If the first 2 speeds are not working, but the rest do than check the blower resistor module, in the heater case on the right side below glove box. If all speeds work, but cut out or sometimes don't work, check the connector at the blower motor, and the connector at the blower resistor. You may find one melted, usually the black wire. If nothing obvious found, you will probably need a blower motor as it is intermittently working (on the way out).

Since you are mechanically inclined, now is the opportunity for your electrical skills.
Disconnect the plug from the back of the dashboard switch, and using a VOM (Volt-Ohm-Meter) check the plug for current when you turn on the ignition key.
The hot lead should immediately work.
If the electric meter shows the same intermittent reading you are describing, it is time to fine the relay that controls the current to that switch.
It may be under the dash, or more probably under the hood. Perform the same tests with the plug to that relay.
You should find the problem either with the switch or the relay.
Oh, yes, one more thing.
I had these same problems and found rusted/corroded wires inside the plugs, look for those with a magnifying glass.
God bless your efforts,.
