A/C problems
My C5 is only blowing hot air. manifold gauges are reading close to the same on input and output but the system is pressurized. It does sound like the A/C clutch is engaging but I am not seeing a change on the gauges. I am assuming I probably have a bad compressor but I am now starting to second guess this. Partially because it is blowing air hotter than outside air temp.
I am now getting two codes as well P0361 P0441.
I know I am probably not giving enough info to be much help.
I do not have a Tech2, but I do plan on solving this issue myself rather than taking it to any garage.

C5 Re-Calibrating Actuators
Use the following steps to perform the calibration update:
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the battery positive voltage circuit fuse of the HVAC Control Module (fuse #27).
Important
The module memory will not clear if the battery positive voltage circuit fuse is installed in less than 60 seconds.
3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Install the fuse.

If it is a duel zone make sure you get the right actuator. The ones rock auto sale aren't the correct ones for a C5 duel zone. Ill try and find the right part number, I've post it on here before. 604-106 Check this thread.

I do have a 2001 coupe the automatic electronic dual climate control system. I have replaced the original control head as the digital display had failed a couple of years ago when I first bought the car.
Looks like the GM part number is 15-72971 and the Doorman part number is 604-106 for the actuator for my car.
Not familiar with doorman. Is there some reason I should use Doorman rather than OEM, that is other than price?
I still do not know if these codes (B0361 and B0441) would cause the A/C compressor to not run or is this a separate issue?
