Air Conditioning problem
2004 Chevy Malibu

Hi,
I had the air on two days ago and it was working great. It was raining out so I had to put it on defrost/hot. When I turned the nob again for the air to come back on it kept blowing hot air and continues to do so. Heat/defrost works great but air just blows hot. Could it be a fuse that I need to replace? I hope you can help. I am broke because rent is due :) and am going to try to repair this myself. Thanks in advance!

Try this:
Remove the HVAC (BATT) fuse for a minimum of 10 seconds.
Install the HVAC (BATT) fuse.
Start the vehicle.
Wait 40 seconds for the HVAC control module to self-calibrate.
See if it starts to work, otherwise you will have to take it somewhere to have the HVAC system scanned

After 5 days of the air not working but blowing hot air it started to work again on it's own. I prayed about it. Either that it would start working again or not cost much to fix and the next day it started to work again.

Before replacing thermostat check for leaks if you see no leaks then check your oil to see if there is water in it if not does the car have white smoke coming out of it if no to this also then yes your thermostat would cause this problem take it out and test to see if working properly
