Colorado Snowflake Button Is Sticking.

MCWHAMMER · November 9, 2008

Hi. New to this forum.

I have a 2006 Chevy Colorado, and my snowflake button (Next to the air speeds) sticks. When I press the button in to get cooler air, it will stick in the on position, and the yellow light will come on, but it does not give the satisfying click that the "Recirculate" button right next to it does.

I have to forcefully push it repeatedly till it unsticks.

Here is the YouTube video of my problem. At about 15 secs., you can see that it unsticks, but I keep going anyway to show what is going on.

Can I successfully pull this button off, clean behind it somehow, and then reattach it? If so, how? Or will I have to go into the dealer to get this simple problem fixed?

It's bugging me, because the temp. fluctuates so much in NC that I am fighting with this button daily.

Any help? Have you had to remove one of these buttons before?

Thanks in advance.

You have the fan turned off, so the A/C is not going to come on.

I'd pull off that bezel and see if something has gotten into the switch. Should be pretty easy to get off. You might be able to reposition the switch or clean it out. Hard to say without actually seeing it removed.

That would annoy the hell out of me.
