not to hijack the thread, but i figured id ask here instead of starting a new one about something similar. I just got a 2000 Camaro SS and i was wondering if you could put the head/feet heat setting on without turning on the AC compressor. If you look at it during the day its blue, but at night it lights up normal.

Blend Door motors tend to go out quite often. Had to change a number of them. As for vacuum issue. The f-body has only 1 incomming vacuum line that I can see. If you gain a underdash vacuum issue, most likely, its your fault

I believe there is only two settings that blow the fan without the compressor. If its lit blue then that means the compressor will be on, also if the defrost is selected in the furthest two right selections then that turns the compressor on as well. Only way you could change this is to put a manual switch on the compressor activation wire behind the controls that would keep the compressor from turning on.

I always wondered why GM didnt supply the latest and greatest F-Body models with climate control but instead a cheezy hot or cold temperature adjustment module. I mean yea its a sports car but if its supposed to be top of the line...
Is it possible to put climate control in these cars? Im trying to think of a GM vehicle with a single din, single climate control unit. I wouldnt think it would be that hard to convert. Convert the wires and run the temp sensor under the dash...Any info?

With the climate control in my Bonneville, as soon as you turned the HVAC system (not the car) on the fan automatically went to full fan blast. I hated that. It wasn't 'auto' mode, it was just the default setting for each re-start of the system.
I'll keep my manual controls whenever I can.

So your saying that if you got in your car, it was in auto. You unselected auto mode, and turned the car off. When you turned it back on, it was back in auto mode?
On another note, any of the levers break off on your nova. I lost two already. Busted the little end pieces off. Luck for me, the key can come out of the ignition even after it been started, so I can slide it out, poke it in the slot, and move it up and down

I find that wierd. Why on earth would a car ever default to auto mode? My silverado only defaults to auto mode when I use remote start, but goes right back to manual mode as soon as I put the key in.

You can buy the little end pieces from Year One for about $4 each, or a whole new cable set for about $40, if you want.
