2006 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the A/C Switch control module on 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Begin by removing the instrument panel center trim bezel and disconnecting all electrical connectors that attach to the HVAC Control Module for replacement purposes. After the HVAC Control Module screws are removed from the center trim bezel it can be extracted from its chamber. The HVAC Control Module placement into the center trim bezel should be followed by screwing back the HVAC Control Module screws then tightening them to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Start by attaching the electrical wiring to the HVAC Control Module before you reinstall the center trim bezel into the instrument panel. The mode actuators require calibration through three repeated button presses of a/c and recirc on the HVAC Control Module before the two-second mark from first contact. Proper air distribution depends on performing this calibration whenever you replace your mode actuator or HVAC Control Module. To complete the calibration process the system's a/c and recirc button leds should flash before ending when the leds cease their flickering pattern after 10-30 seconds based on battery voltage. Testing the system will start with cycling the ignition then checking for correct functionality.
