Talk about the other 3800 powered GM cars, particularly for items not covered in other sections that may be unique to your year/model, and differ from a Bonneville.

climate control not working

Post by deano55 »

Last week my wife's 02 buick regal's auto climate control stop working correctly. At first we thought ice and snow might have been clogging up the temp sensor if there is one? The outside temp reading would register 100 plus degrees cutting off the heat, but the last couple of days it was working as should and now today it went back acting up again. Anyone know where to start tracking down the problem? Thanks in advance

Sounds like a bad exterior temp sensor.
