2001 Malibu Climate Control

External Since: Jan 21, 2006 Posts: 2

My 2001 Malibu has no output when the blower is on the first 2 settings.
There is no air moving through the vents, nor is there any noise. I
posted this on another site, and they recommended changing the resistor on
the blower, or perhaps cleaning the switch.

Additionally, my AC goes on and off periodically, especially when I'm in
traffic. I don't think this is to prevent motor overheating, as sometimes
it's when I first start the car and the temp is still on Cold.

Any help or advice is much appreciated!

yes resistor is most likley the prob...it was the prob on my 00

sometimes the a/c will cycle to avoid frezzing of the lines. as long as it still blows cold its ok. if it is real hot and you first turn the a/c on and it still cycles on and off very quickly it is a sign of a problem...low r134a, or too high of pressure and should be checked out.
