How often has my Chevy Malibu had AC problems?
How often has my Chevy Malibu had AC problems?
I own a 2001 Malibu LS and owned a 1998 Malibu LS. Both cars have had AC control head failures approx. every one to two years. I had two replacements from 1998 – 2001 on the 1998 model and now have experienced a third failure within four years on the 2001 model.
What are the problems with my Chevy Malibu?
Chronic problem with blower resistor, speeds 1 and 2. Another chronic problem with the a/c switch. My mechanic charged $80 to fix both (probably double at a dealer)
When does the a / C light turn on in a Chevy Malibu?
If the AC is running, the light should be on. In my Malibu, with the windshield defroster on, the a/c compressor runs & the a/c light is on. I know that implementation of the A/C Compressor LED isn’t done consistently across vehicles. Some vehicles have LED turn ON whenever A/C compressor is ON.
Is there a problem with my malibu relay?
This is a very common issue with the Malibu’s and it can get quiet costly. This 2010 Malibu can be a nightmare since there are many possibilities to a no start condition. I had to do it the hard way yet to discover that a faulty and poorly designed relay could also be one of those possibilities. The issue with the relay is it has a mind of its own.

Why does my Chevy Malibu have a cold range?
When I turn the temp knob to the cold range the air from the defroster outlets definitely feels cold so I presume the compressor is running as it should, but I’m just wondering. ’00 LS, 61K miles. Have had control head replaced (switching back and forth between norm and recirc); it’s not that.

Why does my Chevy Malibu not turn over?
My 2001 Malibu would not crank. It would turn over but would not crank, as if it wasn’t getting fuel. I had this issue about a month ago and my friend changed plugs and wires, checked compression (good), and fuel system (good).
Why are my dashboard lights not working on my Chevy Malibu?
Seems on some of these cars a sensor wire has been grounding on under the passenger seat and causing similar issues from the research I’ve done. Some folks say simply sliding the seat to a different position fixes the problem. Hope this helps! 12 people found this helpful.
