hi, new to this site, curious...my '99 pontiac grand am isnt throwing out any heat, on heater or defrost. the a/c is fine, (except for the first 2 speeds, which i know what i need to do to fix that). the thing, is i'm not getting any heat. could it be that i need to replace the "thermostat"? the car has not overheated, it stays in the middle, mostly on 200. but today as i tried to use the heater i did notice that it (temp) went up just a bit more than usual. thanks for ur help. jake

Yeah, have fun changing the blower resistor. Changed mine last month, I should have removed the pass seat to get to it easier.
I would say it's the thermostat. If it hasn't been changed yet, you'll need to do it anyway.

hey,
just read your post, you mentioned that your first two speeds were not working. i have a 99 Grand am with the same problem, (but i have heat). You said you know what the problem is, what is it? any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

:iceslolan sure thing...i was informed by a very reliable electrical mechanic friend that owns his own shop, he said it's a module that usually seems to go out on either/or both first and second speeds. he said it goes under the drivers side dash, he told me exactly where...but i wasnt paying attention. ( i can find out though) and he said it goes for around $30.00 usually u can get it from the dealer. which i still havent seemed to make the time nor the effort to call and find out. but he said it was no big deal in either getting it or replacing it. i finally changed out my thermostat, and it was a pain in the a--! but i finally got it done. finally got some heat, and just in time too....cold front coming in tomorrow nite. well good luck dude.
