Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / September 20052002 Malibu ELECTIC AND A/C ISSUES
I own a 2002 Malibu LS which was purchased new. Currently it runs okay, but starting it is often tough and the electical system appears to go in and out intermittently. I was driving it to work two mornings ago, it was dark, so hit the high beams. As soon as I did this, all of the display lights, radio, everything blanked for about two seconds, and my clock reset to 12:00. After this, my Brake light and ABS light were illuminated until I shut off my car. I have also experienced the same "no start" problem every other malibu owner has experienced to include the a/c problem with switch 1,2,3 and the intermittent A/C on and off which calls for the $170 control panel. Any suggestions on the electrical problem I am currently having. I don’t feel like paying someone 55 an hour to do something I might be able to do myself. Any tips are greatly appreciated. > I own a 2002 Malibu LS which was purchased new.

I had the same problem with my AC switch for the 1, 2, and 3 settings. It was a resistor switch that had to be replaced and now works fine. The only problem they could not help me with was the AC going on and off by itself. It would go from cold to warm and the AC "on" light would blink on and off. I took it to the dealer and he could not repeat the problem. Sure enough the next day it happened again. There are many postings pointing to faulty or intermittent ignition switches as the source of all sorts of electrical gremlins > I own a 2002 Malibu LS which was purchased new.
