GMC Acadia Heating Cooling Problems Here I am again, really hoping I could change my user name. I drove my Acadia to another town about 60 miles from home and back today. Took the interstate driving about 70-80 mph. The trip there was uneventful with the exception of a little sluggishness at about 65-70 mph. I haven't taken the time to learn about those extra gears! The landscape was fairly flat all the way. On the return trip, it was raining pretty hard. I had to use the defroster to keep the fog off the interior windows. It was about 40-45 degrees outside. Anyway, the heater fan would turn itself up and down like it wasn't getting power. The actual air would be warm then cold. (It was not set to "auto") My 30 year old daughter tried different settings, but the darn thing would change itself from hot to cold. When I pushed the AUX button, it would blow cold air to the passengers in the rear. The unit would actually keep turning the air conditioning on itself. It would switch from one setting to another even when it was not set to "auto".

When I got closer to home on the return trip, I also noticed it was smelling like burned plastic or rubber inside the car. I have brought this to the attention of the local service department, but they were "unable to duplicate" when they had my car. I have been home for 3 hours and I just decided to go out into the garage to see if the seat warmers were working, just to check the electrical.

My garage is not warm and it is 40 degrees outside. The gauge on the dash still indicates my engine temp to be 210....good old 210! I don't know if the rain got the fuse box as others have stated is a problem or what. I am now at 3400 miles...what next? I was supposed to be taking my daughter back to her home this weekend, a 600 mile trip...don't dare take this POS that far away from home on a holiday weekend!

How do you change a headlight in a GMC acadia? On the 2009 model, the genius engineers at GMC decided to make you access the rear of the headlamp assembly through the wheel well. This involves removing 11 screws from the plastic shield in the wheel well. You will need to start the car to turn the wheel to get the clearance for your screwdriver to remove these screws. The plastic shield will not come out even with these 11 screws removed, it just bends enough to get your arm in there. Then you get to blindly feel for the cap at the back of the headlamp assembly that needs to be unscrewed. Then you get to blindly feel for the back of the lampholder and try to give it 1/4 turn to release it.

Then you get to hold a flashlight in your mouth because you will need both hands to release the metal tabs that are holding the bulb in the lampholder. All the while the plastic shield will be pinching and scraping the skin off your forearms. The real joy comes when you get to try to put the new bulb in the holder and get the lampholder to seat itself in the assembly and snug it up with the 1/4 turn.

Thank you GMC engineers, instead of replacing another bulb tomorrow I'll just poke pencils in my eyes to experience equal pain. How do you change the headlight bulb on a 2007 gmc Yukon?
