What kind of AC does a Chevy Malibu have?
What kind of AC does a Chevy Malibu have?
The base system in 2004+ Malibu also has a blower motor resistor card but it is a different part (fewer speeds). The auto ac system doesn’t use a resistor card, it has a “linear power module” or LPM which is an electronic device which gives you more control over blower speed.
Why does my Chevy Malibu have a cold range?
When I turn the temp knob to the cold range the air from the defroster outlets definitely feels cold so I presume the compressor is running as it should, but I’m just wondering. ’00 LS, 61K miles. Have had control head replaced (switching back and forth between norm and recirc); it’s not that.
What are the problems with my Chevy Malibu?
Chronic problem with blower resistor, speeds 1 and 2. Another chronic problem with the a/c switch. My mechanic charged $80 to fix both (probably double at a dealer)
When does the a / C light turn on in a Chevy Malibu?
If the AC is running, the light should be on. In my Malibu, with the windshield defroster on, the a/c compressor runs & the a/c light is on. I know that implementation of the A/C Compressor LED isn’t done consistently across vehicles. Some vehicles have LED turn ON whenever A/C compressor is ON.
How often has my Chevy Malibu had AC problems?
I own a 2001 Malibu LS and owned a 1998 Malibu LS. Both cars have had AC control head failures approx. every one to two years. I had two replacements from 1998 – 2001 on the 1998 model and now have experienced a third failure within four years on the 2001 model.
