Problem with my 2006 Pontiac Torrent.
I have a 2006 Torrent that the heater does not work. The blower fan and all the switches
are fine. Airflow does change from vent to floor to defrosters.
When i turn the temp knob to hot air, only get cold come out. Does not matter what
setting the mode door is in.
I have read that it could be the temperature door motor is bad and needs to be replaced.
My mechanic has not done this.
Can we do it in our garage.
Yes, this is becoming a common problem on the Chevy Equinox and Pontiac Torrent.
The temperature door has broken inside the dash.
To replace it, you will need to remove the entire dash board assembly, all related parts,
the cross car beam, then you can remove the heater air conditioning case.
The case must be disassembled to replace the door.
It costs about $22 Dealer only.
This is an very big job. Takes a good 7-8 hours to complete. Even for me who works on
these cars and trucks all day.
I would suggest your mechanic not or you doing this yourself unless you have
experience with the Chevy Equinox or Pontiac Torrent SUV.
