Thank You!
I checked the connector to the motor and cleaned some corrosion. I also wacked the bottom of the motor. It freed up the brushes in the motor . The system has been running good since.

Glad to hear you have an appointment at the dealership. Please keep me posted on any information from the dealership.
Thank you,
Caron, GM Customer Service
Thanks!
A good way to tell if it is the meter if you know it's 80 degress outside but your car is saying it's negative 23 or 40 (like mine). etc. The ambiemt air flow meter is the front of engine compartment ( Believe I found a diagram in my owners manual that explained how to take out light in front to be able to get to it), you will need to carefully take out the whole light to get to it the part. My air flow meter was on front passage side of the car right under all of the light wires, etc. It's snapped in to front frame of the engine and connected by long cord that run back down under the engine to where it tells the car what the temp is outside. All you need to do is snap out part. Go to your local dealer & ask them for the ambient air flow meter for your Impala's year... the part cost me $7.85 and I had my Dad help me take part the ligith. put in the part then place the light back where it goes. it's a two person job less chance of dropping your front light ... way expensive if that would happen.
No local Hires, Advanced Auto Part, etc. will carry the part as it is exclusive handling by the dealership auto parts service center. It's been Fantastic to be able to have a/c in my car this summer! I hope this helps you out. ...If your temperature is reading normal on the dashboard then it is not the ambient air flow meter. There is also a a/c compressor but I'm not sure how to correct that myself has my issue with air flow meter.
Thanks!

There is another post about getting the positioning of the motor right to line up the screw mounts. This was genius! I connected the motor, put it on the post and then used a small hand held mirror to see the screw holes. I connected the battery, laid on my back, turned the key on, turned the heater/ac on and moved the driver's side temp control from cold to hot until my screw holes lined up. After that, I got the screws in by touch and a little masking tape to help me hold on to the screws.
Best,

And for months now I've been getting outside fumes in even when the a/c is set to RECIRCULATE. Could this be due to the same problem? There are less than 39,000 miles on the car.

Anyone find out what exactly makes this happen? Do I need to get it into my mechanic ASAP? :confuse:
My AC works but if I have it on the max setting I get an unbearably loud clicking noise so I just move it down a notch below max setting and the clicking stops.
I have the same issue with my 2008 chevy impala
i have a 2005 impala, and the heater is not blowing hot air, I have checked coolant levels, and they are fine, bled coolant lines, not sure exactly how to back flush the system, or what I'm looking for on the actuators, I'm a single father of four and can't afford to put it in the shop. Please help.
