When I start my car the air doesn't go on. After driving awhile, it goes on. If I shut car off, it doesn't go on until I drive for a while. ??? I checked the fuse (a/c) but it looks o.k. (not split).

My wife drives a 2001 Suzuki XL7. While she was out, the exhaust heat shield fell off the catalytic converter. My question is does this affect the car's ability to function in any way? Is it still safe to drive? My wife is freaking out over it.

I have a '93 Suburban, Its actually in great shape, except that the fan made some loud whining noises for about 45 minutes and doesnt work at all now. I have heat, but only when Im driving on the highway and only when the heat is actually turned to the "off" postion on the switch and I dont even have heat when slowly driving around town. The rear fan works, but blows cold too. Im not sure that even gets hot when Im moving, as I feel a cold breeze on my neck when I turn on the fan when Im driving. I dont think the ac works at all...just bought this truck, so havent tried it, and its cold out anyway, so I'll have to wait I suppose.

View 3 RepliesSuzuki - Xl-7 :: Front Control Stopped Working
We bought a 2007 XL7 two weeks ago. The second day we had the car the battery was dead. Had it replaced and then the charging system was not reading over 12.3 volts while running. Replaced the alternator but the car still ranges from 12.3 to 14.2 volts while running or idling. Last Saturday the front control stopped working. Could not change the radio, a/c or any other centrally located controls. We had a 2004 XL7 and it was great. Our vehicle was manufactured Nov of 2006 so it was one of the first out, I almost forgot that the speakers pop like something is grounding out every time we open the doors. I ran a Suzuki Motorcycle dealership for almost 10 years and have never seen anything this random in the powersports world. The dealer said he has replaced batteries in 3 other new XL7's. Did I get the only XL7 with Gremlins?

We just purchased an Aerio for my teenage son. We all just love the car. It is the base sedan with 5-spd. There is one problem we did not notice on the test drive. It seems that when the front windshield was made, there is a slight "wavy pattern" that you can see. While it does not inhibit your vision, it is a little irritating.

I have an '04 Suzuki Aerio, and there is a loud popping or knocking sound coming from the front of the car when I drive it. I don't seem to hear it when the car is inert (i.e. idling or traveling in a straight at a constant speed). I hear it intermittently when I accelerate/decelerate or turn. I hear it in drive and reverse. The strange thing is that it seems to go away completely when it is raining, and then come back when it stops raining and things dry out. It has been happening for a month or two. I think it has been gradually getting a bit louder. What could cause this?

Presenlty my switch that turns on the heat/ac is dark as is the switch for the speed for that device is dark. Are these bulbs that burn out and just need replacing? the two other switches in that area are lit and fine. Or could it be a wiring issue?
View 2 RepliesSuburban :: 2004 - AC Would Switch To Full Heat All Of A Sudden
2004 Suburban with dual manual a/c controls. My problem was first going from a/c all of the sudden it would switch to full heat. I could pull over stop the engine for a minute and restart and it would correct itself. Started doing this a lot so I replaced the mod door on drivers side. It worked for a couple weeks and started same thing again. I put it in the shop and they replaced the other two mod doors and did a lot of wire testing and even talked to Chevy. They were able to correct the air and heat problem but now I have a problem with the air going to the defrost and floor, maybe a little out of the dash and you no matter what you select it will not move to just floor or dash etc.
View 3 RepliesSanta Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 - Heat / AC Vent Location Won't Switch
My 2008 Santa Fe has a problem where the heater & A/C work fine, the fan is blowing a lot of air but it will not switch between the defrost, heat & floor locations. Right now about 90% of the air is blowing out on the floor(freezing my feet with A/C) while about 5% comes out of the dash vents and 5% out of the windshield vents. No amount of adjusting will change these. I've changed the cabin air filter which didn't work and have ruled out the fan as it sounds great and pushing a lot of air out at the lower vent.
View 1 RepliesImpala - Chevrolet :: Control Switch That Turns On AC Or Heat Is Not Fully Working Right
I have a 2003 Impala LS with around 114,000 miles. I noticed today that the control switch that turns on the AC or heat is not fully working right. My switch has 5 levels, and on levels 1 and 2 nothing happens. But when I switch to levels 3-4 or 5 it works just fine.
My question is is fixing this going to involve removing the entire dash from the car? My guess it's a contact issue, and figure it might be pricy to get repaired.
Saab - Heating - 9-5 :: Blend Door Motor Not Opening To Allow System To Switch From Air To Heat
I have a SAAB 2000 95, and the heat isn't working. I was told by a local shop that the blend door motor isn't opening to allow the system to switch from air to heat. He said that the heating system was working, but that the hot air can't exit the dash. He said it would have to be repaired at a dealership.
View 3 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Heat Mode Switch - Compressor Does Not Come On In Some Conditions
I have a 2001 F-350 S/D w/7.3. Question is... Is it possible for the mode switch ( one controls floor/ defrost and A/c ) to not function or should I say leave the a/c on even if it is not in a/c position? What I have noticed was that when it is in the floor mode or the vent mode (not the floor/vent) the compressor does not come on. When it is in vent/floor or either a/c modes it does. Is this normal... I don't think so though I do know anytime the a/c is switched on compressor should come on but no time without a/c being on.. Maybe I'm wrong

My car is blowing cold air but no heat at all. I checked the codes and it's throwing a B1 1-3-1. It's also throwing a A7 1-2-2. a buddy of mine is a mechanic but not too familiar with Volvo's. But he said that he thinks the B1 1-3-1 Driver's side air duct short is the problem. Is this the problem and how do I fix it?
View 3 RepliesPrius C :: How To Turn Off All Heat And Cold A/C
I have a Prius C 2013. In my old car, I could turn off all heat and cold A/C, and it can guarantee that heater and a/c compressor are not running. But with Prius, I turned off Auto, heat and cold A/C, and I can still feel warm air coming out the the vent when it is running on the highway. Why? How to solve it? I am just trying to suck air from outside into the cabin without wasting fuel on heat or cold a/c. I am trying to get higher MPG.

View 9 RepliesFord A/C :: Heat Blows Cold Air
I'm having with my truck. During a drive cross country my heat started to go from hot to mildly warm to cold in probably 5 hours. After stopping I checked my coolant level and it was empty. I do have a leaky head gasket and have driven about 18 hours so I'm guessing that's where it went. I could not find a leak anywhere. I filled it back up and left the cap off the reservoir to let any air work it's way out. My heat still blows cold as ice but if I shut off the heat completely and wait ten seconds then turn it back on it will blow warm air for maybe two seconds. What this could be?
