2005 Saturn relay has intermittent heat. You have to adjust all dials many times until heat kicks in. Once heat works, its plenty warm. The frustrating part is it is so random. Have read about blend doors and motors but he heat does work....sometimes.

Sounds like it is low on coolant. Add coolant, drive the car, let it cool down, and then repeat the problem until the coolant level stays constant in the coolant tank. If it doesn't stay constant after a few tries, there may be a coolant leak inside the engine (blown head gasket or intake gaskets).

SOURCE: heat/ac blower motor works on high. intermittent on other speeds.

Check the blower resistor pack - usually located in the heater air ducting in the blower fan airflow. Check for loose connections and open circuit resistors on the unit.
If speed 4 works always, its unlikely to be the blower motor ground connection.

SOURCE: Disconnect sliding door chime 2005 Saturne Relay

On my 05 Relay I scratched the oxidation off of the switch heads and the contact plates on the door pillar. Worked for me.
Another fix I've read about is to take out and put back the PSD fuse. Then open and close the doors twice (with power button) for the computer to relearn the positions.

My windshield wipers won't turn off once they are turned on, Would it be the wiper motor or the relay

The intermittent works on a heat operated relay, it warms up, clicks on, cools down, clicks off etc. My guess is this is playing up. If you listen carefully when operating, you can hear it click behind the dash panel which would help the locating.

2005 trailblazer HVAC blower working intermittently. when working, the blower works at all speeds. It will continue to function until the ignition is turned off. When not working it does not function at...

Three possible causes are the blower motor itself stalling (worn out bearings), the blower control module (intermittent internal problem or bad connectors/wiring) or the HVAC control (switch if manual, module problem if automatic). I would start by checking for power at the motor when not working.

2006 ford f-250 diesel with no heat

it takes quite a while for a diesel to warm up by just idling in order to produce any heat.you have to put them under a load (drive it), before you will get any noticeable heat.if you have a block heater, plug it in 4-5 hours before you plan on driving it and that will definitely help produce interior heat quicker.
