Thank you for Watching! Be Safe Out There! - Навчання та стиль
Thank you so much ! At the shop they wanted to switch the entire panel. I thought that they were insane. After watching this video, I managed to fix it myself.
Glad you got it done and saved probably a lot of $$ 😀
Thanks for making the video. After seeing that GM has a poor design, I'm not bothering with tearing my dash apart. I'll live with it.
Honest, it wasn't too bad of a repair, bad design, but Thank you for watching
Thanks for making the video. This is much more simple than I expected.
Thank you for watching :)
because it does not show the temperature of my Chevrolet spark 2019
That looked like fun. Thanks for taking the time to record that.
It was fun ;) be safe and Thank you for watching!
2018 Chevy Trax ... I have replaced the condenser and now I am troubleshooting my heater issue. Great video
Thank you for watching and commenting this should help you fix it right up!
Incredibly helpful thank you
Glad I could help. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you!! I just did this and it wasn’t too awful because of you!
I'm here to help and glad I could 😀
Thanks for the vid! Super easy to do this yourself

I'm here to help, Thank you for Watching and Commenting 😀
Great Post Sir!!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 😀
I was able to correct the cable without having to thread the new one through, but I still had to disconnect it from the gearbox and take it apart to get some slack in the cable. I found that a 5.5 mm wrench fit perfectly, which is extremely similar to 7/32.
Good job! Thank you for the info too 😊
Can I manually turn the heat on, after removing the glove box, for the winter? My company is surplussing my car and won’t fix it. I can work on cars, I’m freezing and just need it on until my new one arrives.
You can, you are looking for that gear ⚙️ thing, you can manually move it. My son did this for a season until we found the part on our own. You can kind of regulate it by the fan speed, but you either have freezing or hot. Windows are helpful too. I'm sorry you have to go through that.
God thank you so much for this video
I'm here to help :) Thank you for watching
I have a 2017 Chevy Sonic, do you think this could be the culprit as well? The dial doesn't get past the hot and the ac stopped working.
Absolutely, looks like a lot to do, but you can save a lot if cash by doing it yourself 😀
Great video. Thanks for reminding me not to ever try something like that. I would have broken at least 3 of those parts.
Yes, sort of an advanced fix, but do able... 😀
Hi Brian, having a similar issue. The air direction control isnt working. It only comes out the feet area. When i change direction it comes out a little bit in the area I change it too but mostly the feet. Probably going to bring it to chevy but any thoughts?
It would be the directional/mixer button, similar process...
I have a 2020 Trax.The blower motor had an intermittent on/ off for awhile then it just stopped working.Fan good,resistor looks good.Im thinking control head but not sure.Any thoughts?
I'd check/replace the resistor
I had something similar when refrigeratant was too low. But shortly after a connection on my resistor harness was fried, so it could be coincidental.
i just replaced the harness and resistor on 2015 trax. all is working well.. it was a little cold this morning so I turned the heat switch to hot. when I restarted trax nothing was working. i gave a light tap to the dash to the left of the heat switch and it came on. it has worked well both heat and cold ever since. I'm quite sure it will happen again sooner or later. how do n you get that plate off to check that button for a loose wire ??
It is a snap panel, pull and it will release, think there are a few screws too
@@GarageMahalLife sporadically when i turn fan control from 1-4 speed it will go off. if I bang on the side it comes back on. do you think its a loose were behind the speed controller or is there something else that would cause it. if I leave the fan on when I shut the car off it seems to be ok. but if I turn the controller off when I shut the car off then when I restart it is when I get issues..
@@GarageMahalLife how do i get the speed and heater buttons off ? they have to come off first before the plate will come off.
Is it just the small silver panel that molds around the heater/ ac and radio or do I have to remove the long panels that go towards the glove box ? I didn't see any screws. It looked like I would have to use a screwdriver to pry it off..
Yes, most of the panels pull off
@@GarageMahalLife ok ..will try it..thanks
I just moved the gear to the ac side position and put a screw in between the teeth to hold it in place. Come winter I will just take the screw out and it will fall back to heat side.
That's one way of doing it 😉
Man, this video is so fucking awesome it helped out my Bank account a whole lot. Thanks.
Thank you for watching and glad it helped!
I’m going to attempt this tomorrow. Dealer took off $600 because the ac was broke.
It's easy, little time consuming, but you got this!
Temperature Control Cable Replacement is it the same on 2012 Sonic?
Pretty similar... dash is a little different.
What it the name of the part that you ordered that was in the bag. I can't find it anywhere.
Here is the link. Also in description
amzn.to/3e4TUyv
Can you tell me what tool you used to get that 7/32 out? I can't get it out but feel so close.
I have everything listed in the description 😀
I finally got it fixed today. Thank you so much! The dealership wanted $800.00!
@@c8linlou $800 is cheap, I've heard 1200 to $1500 regularly
Does anyone know the screw size for the end under the glove compartment? Mine is lost in the dash, RIP.
I think I may have mentioned it in the video, 10mm?
@@GarageMahalLife thanks! I must have missed that, sorry! Is that for the head? My issue is the thickness and length
The plastic tools for prying can you send the link to them
amzn.to/3wj8ngy There you go :) 😀 Thanks for watching
Thank you!
My ac blows hot but can't turn the switch to heat it won't let me to it past the cold is this what I need too is the switch
Hi Kendall, what kind of unit? Email me some pics so I can better help you, Brian.niskala@cnjrail.com
Would this be the same part for the vent control switch as well?
The part would be similar, but not the same.
Please list part number.
I need this part to fix girlfriend's 2013 Sonic Ls

HEATER CONTROL CABLE 2015-2021 NEW OEM GM

Thank you. I didn't notice that you had listed part number in reply.
My Kia car salesman got mine from chevy next door to kia on his account which was very cool. Saved me lots of money. Thank you again
@@georgewashington1162 All good, if you need anything let me know, be safe!
Sorry I found it int the comments
What is the part called that you replaced?
Chevy Trax Sonic HEATER CONTROL CABLE 2015-2021 NEW OEM GM 95476706
@@GarageMahalLife where did you source it? I've checked 3 online car part stores so far and cannot find it.
Nevermind, found it- I'll make the link it's own comment for others.
My air diverted keeps springing to the left. Anyway, to fix that without tearing everything apart, cause it ain’t happening can’t do it. My hands are too bad. 17 spark
Unfortunately it is the only way to repair yourself otherwise a dealer repair. $$$
Sooo we’re stuck. We can’t turn the dial all the way, it only goes half way then stops, feels like it’s going to break if we continue. Don’t know what we’re doing wrong.
Did you replace the cable? Follow my video, aligning the mixer is important, review the part where I take the part by the glove box out and align it putting it back in...
What are the symptoms of the switch being the issue
And what tools and parts do you need to fix it
Stuck on heat or cool, no way to "mix" the airs. You'll feel the cable not working or straining...
My heat won't work and the mechanic told me I need the evap box
But the ac works fine it's just cold air that blows oit
i have 2015 trax. blower is working good but just stopped blowing hot air. i tried turning A/C off and on to no avail. don't know if A/C is stuck on. the light is out but still throwing cold air.
So this definitely sounds like the mixer cable is off it's track/dial. Order the cable from the link in the description and follow my video repair and it will be all fixed 😀
@@GarageMahalLife I started down the road later and the heat started coming out..I did nothing..I had it on low speed so I would know if it came on..I didn't even go half a mile before it worked..I never touched any dials...what would cause that ? I'm not going to touch that control all winter now..lol
@@raidman75 check your coolant level. Sounds like you are not getting the proper circulation due to low coolant and or thermostat issues or maybe a water pump. So check coolant level, thermostat and then water pump circulation.
@@GarageMahalLife ok..thank you..I will check that out..
because it does not show the temperature of my Chevrolet spark 2019
Hi, not sure I understand the question?
Thanks but I hate the way they make this ! So complicated, no way I leave it like that
Yes, super bad design...
My 2016 Trax is doing this as well GM SUCKS!! They truly hate their customers.
I mean it is a simple design, and i. A perfect environment probably works fine. But we do not drive our cars in perfect environments and when you are driving you man handle dials, they need to be beefy and ready for anything. It is not always about cost savings for a customer. It is reliability...
@@GarageMahalLife I certainly learned my lesson on cranking my AC up to 4 from off. I knew i made a mistake the second it shorted out. My ac works up to 3 now but wont go to max. It is also blowing moist air for some reason. I read forum posts that were saying it was just the resistor and to replace that. I tried that but nothing changed. Do you believe that it would be this part?
@@DrewberTravels 99.9% Certainty
Mine just stop blowing hot air
I feel worried coz I just bought a 2016 holden trax as well.. feels like the aircon isn’t working good🥺
Lol I left the radio in place
If it works 😀
Pain
Pain free compared to what the dealers charge
What do you think the dealership you charge you to fix their F-ed up design? Guess you could live with no heat, or only heat, works 1/2 the year.
I shutter at the thought...
Nope for me!! I'm paying the dealer!
It's not for everyone, but Thank you for watching and commenting 😀
So much useless stuff he’s taking off
I suggest you try it and come back to me. 😉
