I replaced 2 relays (from junk yard), and bought a new CTS.
I think I fixed it with the new CTS.
I can put the original relays back in if I want to.
Thanks again for all your help.
Obviously I’m not the only one to have this problem with this car!

–KenNo trouble codes, with my Actron OBD II scan tool.
Checked the A/C button… works fine.. I hear the compressor engage (disengage).
Checked Defrost knob(switch)… works fine too. I hear the compressor engage and disengage.So I guess that leaves the Relays, or a wiring problem.
I’m getting closer to figuring this out!

P.S. Happy EasterWhat is a “cts”?
Thanks for the info. I will check coolant level, etc.
Sounds like I’m on the right track.
I’m thinking it’s a bad Defrost knob (selector switch) or a bad A/C button (stuck on, even though the light is off).
My wife keeps driving the darn thing, I can’t get my hands on it!!!!

–Ken, ColumbusThank you for telling me about this web-site. It is EXCELLENT!!
It walked me through several diagnostic tests, and I discovered my Newer EGR Valve
was actually faulty. It failed one of the electrical tests.
I cleaned my OLD EGR valve. The Pintle was sticking due to carbon build-up.
After a good cleaning, I re-installed the old one. Cleared the code. NO MORE Check Engine Light!!

My new EGR valve is faulty. (Internal electrical problem)
I took the old EGR and cleaned it with Brake-Kleen, a pick, and a Dremel Wire wheel.
The old EGR passes all the tests found at “EasyDiagnostics.com”
I Installed it, cleared old code (P1406). Test drove it. NO PROBLEMS!!
YEA!!! After 1 1/2 years with the Check Engine Light ON. I finally got it to go OFF!!
Thanks a Million!!
