Climate control problem?
My '02 Coupe has the "dual zone climate control" (or whatever GM calls it), and this morning I noticed that regardless of how I set the controls, my passenger side vents were blowing warm air. I tried it on "auto" mode, with the temp set to 60F, I tried manually setting the fan speed, with the compressor on or off, etc. My passenger temperature **** apparently does nothing at all. I am guessing that this is not normal behavior, so I think I'm going to have to let the dealer take a look at it.( :sad: ) Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I had the exact problem you described on my '99 coupe. Took the dealer three days to fix it (under warranty). It seems that gremlins had prevented the "door actuator" on the right side from opening. If you search the archives you will see this is not too uncommon.
One last note: the dealer (who for the moment will remain anonymous) "detailed" my car as a way of saying how sorry they were to have taken so long to fix what should have been a simple repair. Needless to say, all of my Zaino work was ruined by the morons that wahed my car...
Fortunately all is better now.
Dan, you will have to take it to the dealer...:rolleyes:

Crash,
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your car. Electrical problems like that always worry me. I hope it won't take these guys here that long to figure it out.
Regarding the car washing, my dealer did something similar to mine after they repainted my passenger side mirror (it was damaged during transport apparently). I specifically asked them NOT to wash the car since I would be taking care of all that myself, but they did it anyway. Fortunately, I had not Zaino'd the car yet. I have since then clayed and put a few coasts of Z-2 on the car though. If they wash/detail it this time, I'm going to be pretty unhappy.
Thanks for the info!

Re: Climate control problem? (DanN)
This is probably not your problem but:
Sunday, my car was sitting in front of my Mom's house for a few hours during a visit. Wife and I get in to leave, I turn on the A/C and - HOT air. I fiddled with the controls for a few minutes while driving without success. So, I pulled over, turned off the car, started the car and viola' - A/C.
Must be a glitch in th control although I haven't heard anything 'bout a problem with this to date. :confused:

Yeah, I went out to drive my car at lunch today, and it was working fine. Very weird.... I'm going to hold off taking it to the dealer for now. If it starts happening often, then I'll take it to them.
