What should I do if my AC is not working on my Silverado?
Start by inspecting the condition of the cabin air filter on your Silverado 1500. Instead of changing it directly, it is often recommended to first clean the pollen filter. This can be done, for example, with a vacuum cleaner or a compressed air system, removing at least a large part of the visible dirt particles.
Why does my Silverado blow cold air and then hot air?
I have a 2004 Silverado 4×4 with duel temp controls. It recently starting blowing hot air when the a/c is on but it only blows hot air on the drivers side. The passenger side still blows cold. The only way to get it to blow cold again is to shut it off, wait a few minutes and start it back. It doesn’t do it every day.

Basically the a/c stops cooling after a while, sometimes 30 mins to an hour. It doesn’t blow heat, just becomes ambient, musty and damp, on both the passenger and drivers side. I can switch the sytem off, keep driving for 5 mins, switch it on and it will cool nicely.
