Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / August 2005Malibu 02-A/C re-circulation button keeps going back to outside air
Repost- had to change subject line. On my 2002 malibu, The A/C re-circulation button keeps going back to outside air. When I first put on the air it goes to default mode ( outside air ). But to get MAX air, I press re-circulate button. And it will work great for a few minutes ( real cold ) but then it switches back to outside air in. Some times it stays cool but other times the air gets warmer.. Also I noticed that when the mode buttons lights are switching from outside to inside. That the A/C button light goes off and on. Have you had this problem? Is there a damper or switch that can be replaced. Thanks Lewis try posting your question on this forum. http://www.chevytalk.org/threads/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB29 Will do Thanks jrf83317 > try posting your question on this forum. > http://www.chevytalk.org/threads/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB29 I have a 01 Malibu..the trouble i've had with it..this was one of them..the A/C control head had to be changed out.

I looked around for a book to get the bezel off. You know the secret spot the tech only knows about. I didn't want to break it. Well I started with the two screws at the bottom. To the right of the lighter and left of the ashtray. Well that wasn't it, but I took a chance and started puling gently at the bottom of the bezel and thing just started to come loose from their notches. And it came off pretty easy, I worried allot about the bezel. The rest is just a diagram you should make one and put it back the way you took it apart. I used a lead pencil to do the PCB contacts. And cleaned the brushes. Well I put it back together and the thing works like a charm. Its a good thing because we just went into a hot spell ( 96-98 ) I hope this helps someone else. Thanks everyone.
