Heater starts on low
Hello, i have a 2005 Silverado 1500, Z71, 4x4.
when i turn the key/start the truck....the heater is stuck on low and i can't adjust it until the truck warms up.
reservoir is fine, the 2 hoses to the heater core are warm/hot...
dont see any leaks anywhere...
any help would be great, thanks

low fan speed or low temperature?

If the fuses are good, the next step is to remove the control panel and check for power/ground at the HVAC panel connectors.

Both the fuses are good. (under the hood, left side of dash). question: if one of those fuses were bad, then the controls wouldn't even power up right ?
So, would it be safe to say that the temperature control actuator is faulty?
Another question: can the HVAC system be scanned with a code reader? If so, what type?

2) No, it wouldn’t be safe to say that. A problem with the control panel could present problems with other parts of the system, including the temperature blend and blower controls. Depending on the nature of the control failure, it’s possible the system defaulted to auto until the fault is corrected, whether that means replacing the control panel or repairing wiring.
3) Yes. It requires a scanner capable of reading body codes. You might be able to find an OBD2 dongle and smart phone app to read them; or you could call a few shops to see what they’d charge to read them for you.
