    Have you checked your water level. The water can be just low enough to not effect the engine but can effect the heat. Lets start with that then move on to other idea.

I would suggest replacing the blower motor resistor. When this component fails the blower will only work on one spped or none. This is a very common issue with all automotive models

    there is a TSB for this Item.



    Early production 2004 Grand Prix vehicles built in February and early March 2003 were produced with a white film material on the mode valve that may stick when the blower motor is operating at high speed. This concern can be easily diagnosed by operating the HVAC system at the highest blower speed and then cycling through all of the HVAC air delivery modes and checking to see if the air flow comes out of the correct air outlets. If the mode valve is sticking and not allowing the air to come out of the correct air outlet, try lowering the blower speed 50% and then recheck the airflow. If the air flow is now coming out the correct outlet for the selected mode, then the mode valve is intermittently sticking at high blower speeds.

    A new mode valve went into production in early March 2003. The film on the original mode valve was white. The film on the new mode valve is orange on the inside and black on the outside. To identify an early built vehicle, inspect the build sticker on the driver's doorjamb and look for the build date. If the vehicle has a build date of February or March 2003, then the HVAC module must be inspected to determine the module part number.

    To inspect the HVAC module, open the instrument panel compartment and then rotate it completely out of the opening in the instrument panel. To remove the glove box door arm, you must squeeze the upper and lower portion of the plastic arm using your thumb and fore finger near the IP opening end. Inspect the right side of the HVAC module and locate the white barcode identification label at the lower right of the air inlet assembly. The HVAC module part number is found in the first string of digits immediately below the DELPHI name in the upper left corner of the label. If the HVAC module part number is either 10335274 or 10343400, a new mode valve, P/N 10325510, must be installed. Three evaporator case screws, P/N 52466167 (sold individually), are also required to complete this repair. Follow the Mode Valve Assembly Replacement procedure in the HVAC section of SI. If a new design mode valve is already installed and the mode change concern at high blower speed is still present, then refer to the Diagnostic Starting Point - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning procedure.

Damn Brian, your technical and I mean that in a good way..Try all of the different positions on the control, just see if it goes to vent, floor, defrost, do this in low and high fan. May even want to touch the hoses to see if you have hot water going and coming to the heater

Even if my 2008 grand prix is completely warmed up, when I turn the fan on it only blows cold air.

Could be air in cooling system. Add antifreeze to cool radiator, run engine, cool, check level again, until completely full.

When the car is idling, the heater blows out cool air but when the car is moving, the heater works fine

When the coolant in the heater core is hot from the engine and your fan is on hot air will blow through the hot fan coil, i figured it out, when i stepped on the gas i could here the coolant squeezing by the control or limiter valve, because the higher rpms make the belt spin faster which makes the water pump pump harder causing more pressure, so when u idle that hot coolant will cool down from the fan blowing on it, u need to find the control valve and open it up to full blast, then hot coolant will always be flowing through your heater coil. ;)

I have a 1997 Pontiac Gran Prix and the air conditioner is full blast on the passenger side and on the drivers side is hot air?

I think these cars have dual climate control. Basically, the driver and passenger can set their own climate. Some like it hotter than others, is the thinking. If this is the case, you need a new climate control module. If not, I am at a complete loss.

Good luck!

Fan blowing while car is off

If the A/C knob is not set to 0 at the time ignition was off, the fan could run for a little and then off itself.

Heater control not working on 1997 pontiac Gran Prix

There is a flat filter that sits between the firewall and the blower. Sometimes the filter is blocked and needs to be cleaned or changed. On older cars the filter is located on the firewall in the engine compartment infront of the blower. In the newer cars the filter is under the dash inside the car and much harder to get too.,
