Here's what I'm seeing under the rear of the "a/c only" Tahoe:
I haven't had the chance to peek under the back end of the model with full rear heat/cooling controls, but I'm betting you're going to tell me that's what those two pinched off lines are in the first image - the heater lines...
So I have access to the rear hvac controls that look like this:
Can I / should I swap these in place of my "a/c only" controls that are in my Tahoe? What all is involved? If I simply swap out the controls, do I automatically get rear heat? Is the foundation in place to run heat and cool...
I've got a 2001 Tahoe in the LS trim. Leather front seats, power forward/back/up/down, manual lumbar and recline.
The seat makes a creaking noise every time the momentum of the truck shifts; in other words - when I use the throttle, the seat shifts ever so slightly back and it creaks. Let off...
Looks like a super dirty connection between the resistor and blower motor. Not even joking.
Pulled the connection apart, cleaned all the contacts, reassembled and voila! I now have rear a/c. Sheesh. Too good to be true.
Quick correction....I double checked, and yep - two cabin air filters up front. I totally missed numero dos. Straight hurricane force winds up front now! Haha
So I swapped out my cabin air filter; I only saw one. Is there a second back in there?
Just the one made a huge difference. Feels like it's really moving some air now!
Finally finding some time to get this dealt with. That, and it's warming up quickly - so momma is cracking the whip on me!
Here's the rear controls in my '01:
So how do test my blower motor? Should I just start with the resistor and THEN move to the motor?
Where is the front blower resistor? The rear is under the plastic cover on the passenger side in the cargo area of my Tahoe, correct?
So our recent family addition has some decent sized scuffs and scrapes on her. I'd like to cover them up if possible...
Looking for suggestions that won't cost me a grand (as per my local body shop!) -
She's not perfect but any means, but if I can clean them rather affordably then I'd like...
OK - about the plugs.....gapped to what and torqued to 11 ft/lbs, correct?
Don't put anything on the plug threads - but a little dielectric grease on the wire ends - correct?
I don't wanna mess this up! Haha!
