2000 Pontiac Bonneville Dual HVAC Error

My son has a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville. We replaced the head unit over the weekend and now the HVAC wont work. It is a digital dual zone unit. It does heat and blow on low, but you cannot change any of the settings. The LED on it lights up with 3 dashes across the display. Is the control unit bad or has a wire been cut?

SOURCE: Pontiac Bonneville(2000) oil pressure sending unit

The oil pressure sending unit is located behind the oil filter, Threaded into an aluminunm housing. It has wiring that plugs into the sending unit. The oil filter has to be removed and you will need a deep well socket and a 6 inch extension. Change the oil and the sending unit together.

SOURCE: 2005 Pontiac Bonneville hvac blower does not come on

Start by checking the blower resistor. It should be under the dash on the passenger side near the blower itself. You will need to remove the glove box to access it. It is a small plate that has only a few screws and a group of wires that go to a plug in the center. Unplug it and remove the screws. When you pull it out it should look like a series of small spring shaped coils. Most likely one or two of them will be burned up. Replace it in reverse order and your blower should start working again. If this is not the problem then test the fan motor itself. Hope this helps. Good luck.

SOURCE: 2005 Pontiac Bonneville hvac blower does not come on

The blower on my 2005 Bonny GXP quit at about 60,000 miles (I really like using High). The blower is under the passenger dash. Mine had a three wire connector. The center wire should have 12 volts. It doesn't take very long to pull the fan out. Mine was toasted. Aftermarket fan was about $130.

SOURCE: I have 2001 Pontiac Bonneville My heat works but

Your passenger side temperature door actuator is bad. You can access the actuator by removing the glove box & hush panel. The actuator is on the side of the HVAC box. If you can gain access to the actuator watch the center of the actuator as you change the temp on the control head, if the actuator does not move it is bad, if it does, the door inside the HVAC box is bad. Most likely its the actuator. If you remove the actuator & open it up you will most likely find the large center plastic gear is cracked all the way through. It is held in place by 2 or 3 7/32 screws. Once you replace it, disconnect your battery wait 30 seconds and reconnect it to reset the HVAC control head so it can relearn your actuator positions. It can take up to 5 minutes for the control head to go through it's relearn procedure. You can try resetting the actuator first , but make sure your radio is turned off before you disconnect the battery and if your luck, the actuator may not have any broken parts and the gears may just need to be freed up and lubed. Good luck friend and hope this helps.

Where is the hvac programmer in my 2003 pontiac bonneville ssei?

Instead of trying to play automotive technician replacing parts that doesn't fix the the problem , do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop. First off , looking at a wiring diagram too see what all is invovled in making the blower motor work an then testing the electrical circuit's to find the problem is what should be done , not guessing an replacing parts . Besides , this vehicle doesn't have a blower motor resistor , it has a blower motor control processor .

2000 pontiac bonneville overheating

If the brown stuff is oily, it could in fact be oil from the engine. If so, the engine may have a blown head gasket or other internal leak.

2000 pontiac bonneville overheating

Look in the radiator to determine if the brown stuff is rust or oil. If it's oil then the head gaskets are blown and the heads will have to go to a machine shop to be ground flat. Do them both even if one side is ok, or the engine will never idle right. If it's just rust, install a back flush kit and blow out the rust. Turn the heater on when you back flush to get the rust out of the heater core. Replace the thermostat and anti freeze. Pressurize the radiator and make sure it holds. If the pressure drops off then look to find where the leak is (head gaskets)

My 2000 Pontiac Bonneville wipers wont shut off and the handle is on the off position. what can that be?

if you look under the hood, locate the wiper motor. on the front are 3 torx head(star) screws holding a black cover abount 4' x 4'. once you unscrew those, look inside, that is your wiper module. very common for these to act this way. replace it. the dealer usually carries this in stock.
