2005 CHEVY COLORADO. BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE ON LOWEST 3 OF 4 FAN SETTINGS. DID ONLINE RESEARCH, LEARNED COMMON FAILURE WAS RESISTOR / CONNECTOR (MELTING OF WIRES AND CONNECTOR). CHECKED MINE. IT SHOWED SIGNS OF OVERHEATING (GREY PLASTIC TURNED BROWN ON ONE OF THE FOUR PINS. BOUGHT NEW RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR FROM GM DEALER AND SELF-INSTALLED. BLOWER NOW WORKS ON LOWEST AND HIGHEST SETTINGS ONLY. CALLED GM HQ. THEY SAID TAKE IT TO DEALER; NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN OUT YET. SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON FAILURE BASED ON WEB SEARCHES.

I HAVE A 2005 COLORADO CREW CAB 4X4. ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUMPED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON WET ROADS IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN THE SNOW, IT WILL SLIDE IN WHAT EVER DIRECTION YOU ARE TRAVELING. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT HUB AND RIGHT SENSOR AND PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS AND SHOES AND IT COST ME $1,181.80 AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BRAKES WORK THEY ARE VERY GOOD BUT WHEN THEY DON'T WORK IT PRESENTS A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED SINCE THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALERS LOT AND THEY ARE STILL SQUEAKING TODAY. I WOULD TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT !!!!!!! *TR
