Question
Hi,
Our 1989 deville has  a strange problem.  When we first got it, everything worked fine.  Then about a month later, the Automatic Climate Control fan wouldn't turn off, and we would have to disconnect the battery so it wouldn't run down.  It then suddenly started working again.  About a month ago, it starting not turning off again, so we started unhooking the battery again.  Now for the really weird part, it was running full blast, then all of a sudden it stopped working, no amount of fooling with the controls or, replacing fuses would get it to start.

I need to have this fixed as winter is coming up, so I thought about just directly wiring a switch from autozone to control the fan, don't know if thats a good or bad idea.

Thanks,

Greg

Answer
That is the WORST idea I have heard in a long time.

The fault is either the:

Fan.

Fan control module.

A/C-Heater programmer.
