Silverago Fan runs only on high


Hookmaster

Question

I hopped in the 2004 Silverado on Saturday and the fan only worked on high. It has been working on all speeds before that. I asked a friend with a Tahoe and he said this happened to him and some module needed replacing. Any help on what part it is and where it is located?

Do I just pull out the old board and put in the new? Do you need to disconnect any power or am I good to go with the key off?

Good to go with key off. Shoud be 2 (maybe three) screws holding the resistor board in place. Just unplug, remove, put in the new resistor, plug back in and turn on the key. Should have all the speeds then.

Hookmaster-

Let us know how the repair works out for you, I have to do this to my GMC Sierra as well but unfortunately its not at the top of my list priority wise so I've been putting it off.

Interesting, my 2003 Silverado has the same issue. Please do share if this is the cure.

Thanks.

You still haven't done that.

The reason why high works is that it bypasses all the resistors to allow the full 12 volts to reach the blower. Likely the resistor that controls the next speed down from high has gone bad since all the other lower speeds use that resistor the regulate the voltage to the blower.

I'm going to try and get the part tonight and put it in before the cold weather. I think I may have lost the #1 fan setting a while ago. I checked it with a small strip of napkin and the #1 setting moved no air. As of Saturday, I turn the fan speed setting from 0-4 and nothing happens. Going to 5 (high) I hear a click and the fan comes blasting on. I also hear a some intermittent clicks in the back of the cab (crew cab). Does this have something to do with the flow through cabin ventilation?

The blower resistor board was the fix. The part # for my 2004 Silverado Crew Cab was 89019088. This was for a bench seat, not the floor console model. It's best to have the VIN# to make sure you get the right part. It was held on by two hex nut screws. It should have taken 30 minutes but it took me 1 hour since the screw above the hump for the shroud was a little tricky to put back in. I now have air movement on setting #1 which I didn't have before. I also noticed that on long freeway trips I needed to put the fan on #3 instead of #2 last fall. So it gave some indication it was failing before it went belly up. The part cost $53.99 with the tax so I probably saved $50-$100 in labor.

I told my daughter I was going to post on Fishing MN about the issue and I would have the fix in 1 day or less. Well it took less than 25 minutes!!! Of all the non-fishing advice on this website, the car/truck stuff is some of the most valuable since the non-mechanics can fix stuff but we don't know where to start. Thanks to all who responded.

Glad to hear its fixed!!

We have a good bunch of experienced automotive people here. I'm sure they would agree that it is there/our pleasure to help!!

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
