I have an 05 sierra denali. I got home from a trip and it was doing the same thing. Blowing hot on the drivers side and AC working on passenger side. I removed the AC fuse in the engine compartment and disconnected both battery terminals. I then waited 5 min and reconnected battery and installed fuse. I then put the key switch to the on position and turned the ac to the off position. I started the truck and set it to auto and within 15 sec i had AC on the driver side. Its worth a shot before going to the dealer.

1994 GMC Sierra 4.3L V6 (Manual) that has a problem.
Until recently I had a compressor that was completely locked up. I was driving home when the engine quieted down.. (Like a normal noise), I was startled, being used to a loud idle noise. (I have the impression that a quieter engine is a GOOD thing).. I carried on and went back out a couple hours later to start hearing a metal on metal noise..
To the best of Our knowledge we believe it is the compressor's bearings are completely shot giving play where there shouldn't be, and making a terrible noise (not to mention how it sounds on my school's campus!)...
Anyway, I am looking for any quick fixes to this, if we are on the right track.. etc.. and so on.
Thanks alot.
I looked up what you're asking for and without the manual to refer to, I wouldn't want to attempt the job.

I am taking to the dealership that I bought it new at on Monday, but am asking you experts if their is any documentation of this being a problem? The dealership that I bought it at is one of those high volume stores and they have a reputation of being hard to work with on the service side.
Any help would be great!
If you find your dealership hard to work with on warranty issues, give GM customer service a call and they usually can refer you to another Chevy dealership in your area. With what you describe, I don't think that the dealship can question or deny warranty coverage as the results (burnt wiring) is obvious. Probably due to a ground condition somewhere along the wire.
Thanks for the inputs.
Only thing is, my a/c will not put out very cold air. It has a good charge of freon (had it checked) and I suspect the cold/hot air mixing valve.
How do I check it for sure?
others have the same problem?
Mine is a 2006 GMC Sierra with 50,000 miles/ no warranty.
The wires/connectors that come out of the fan/ resistor box by fan look burnt if you look closely.
My dealer also had the resistor/wiring harness in stock.
I commend your dealer for the fair "goodwill" N/C repair.
email your dealer/ service manager contact?
Will appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions...
Turn off you climate control, then try disconnecting the battery again for 5 - 10 minutes. Then put it back on. Just disconnecting doesnt reset the computer it takes a while of no power.
With a 1500, I imagine you only have 1 battery but if you have 2 make sure to disconnect both.
When I left work at noon yesterday, I discovered that the remote start was also inoperable. I did as you suggested, turned off the HVAC and disconnected the battery for about 15 minutes. That restored the remote start but not the HVAC.
The original problem was my own stupidity! I removed the under hood fuse box without first disconnecting the battery (I certainly know better). Since resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery didn't fix the problem, I suspect that I have fried something in the HVAC circuitry. Have any suggestions short of taking it to the dealer?
Thanks for your help
Thanks!
