2005 Bonneville SE blower moter/fan doesn't come on

All the buttons on the climate control panel light up when pressed but the FAN / BLOWER MOTOR doesn't come on. It doesn't matter if I try using the AC or HEAT. Please share you thoughts on how to troubleshoot this, as I'm not sure where to start.

Re: Intermittent Heat on 2005 Bonneville SE

Thanks for the suggestions. Took little over a gallon of 50/50 to get it filled. Surprised that I wasn't getting a low coolant warning. Anyways, filled up the system and that's when I noticed that there was indeed a leak. Near water pump, but not the weep hole. After a couple days of investigation ...

Intermittent Heat on 2005 Bonneville SE

Sometimes I get Heat and sometimes I do not.

Blower motor runs fine as I can feel strong push of air when the air is warm/hot (working) and when it is cool (not working)

I changed the thermostat and I can't see or smell any signs of leaks.

When the air is hot the temp guage is usally around 200 ...

Re: 2005 Bonneville SLE Dashboard Gauges stopped working

All:

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, but alas it is not the fuse. Last night while in the middle of taking my back seat out the little lady annouces that she'd like an ice cream sundae. So, being the good doobie that I am, I offer to go get one for her. So, back seat lifted up, hadn't ...

Re: 2005 Bonneville SLE Dashboard Gauges stopped working

Okay....thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I think the fuse for the instruments is under the rear seat...not sure what sense it made to put it there. I'll google for the manual to check for sure where it is.

2005 Bonneville SLE Dashboard Gauges stopped working

I was driving to work this morning sipping my coffee and all of a sudden all the needle on all gauges (instrument cluster) on the dashboard fell to the left (as if the car were turned off). I immediately pulled over waiting for something else bad to happen but the car just kept running as normal ...

Changing front struts on 2005 Bonneville

When changing the front struts on the 2005 Bonneville SE, can you change just the strut itself or do you have to change the entire assembly with the spring?

Thanks all for your suggestions. Removing brake fluid via the master cylinder or the bleeder valve on the caliper worked. :banana:

Re: Can't get 2005 Bonn front brake caliper piston wide enou

All: Thanks for the suggestions/replies.

I too am using a large C-clamp and one of the old pads to compress the caliper piston. I have not tried removing the master cylinder cap. Never occured to me that there might be pressure behind the piston preventing me from depressing it all the way open. I ...

Can't get 2005 Bonn front brake caliper piston wide enough

I am trying to change the front roters and pads on my 2005 Bonneville SE. I've got the caliper and rotor off just fine but I cannot seem to get the caliper piston wide enough for new rotor and brake pads. I have checked multiple sources so I amd confident I have all the correct parts. Is there some ...
