Wow... Lots of things there. When you mentioned hitting a bump the first thing I thought of was the thermostat. Then you said the lights were off on the dash, so that's not a thermostat. Is the blower running during the time you don't have heat, or is that what is shutting down randomly?
NO heat
I have checked all the connectors when I had this problem a while back brought the truck into the shop had half the dash out no burnt connectors anywhere....
now I have searched throughout all the pages haven't found the same issue that im having
my issue Is an on and off thing....one minute my heat works then I head home no heat happened this afternoon on my way home from work and then I hit a fairly large bump and wham she came back on
then later this evening I was in the truck and heading to sell some tires I had heat the whole way but the hvac vent direction lights were all out.. there is bout a 20 min drive then when I shut the truck off sold the tires and headed home had no heat once again...and I tried hitting every bump on the way home
is this the blower motor saying ive had enough and slowly dying or am I having more electrical problems....

yeah its deff not from the tstat.......nope the blower motor doesn't work at all then works on all settings no problem its so hoaky
Is this a heat problem or a fan problem?
Well I suppose it's a fan problem but either way there is no heat in my truck
Sounds to me like the blower is going out, or the blower speed switch (rheostat). Have you turned the rheostat from off through 1-4 when it's acting up?
Have you checked the connector behind the right kick panel? It's a long, 22 pin, inline connector, located down low in the opening. Both sides of the blower circuit (power & ground) go through that connector. There have been reports of problems with burned pins in that connector.yeah its deff not from the tstat.......nope the blower motor doesn't work at all then works on all settings no problem its so hoaky
Sounds like these guys can help you troubleshoot an electrical problem, not a heat problem (thermostat, coolant, heater core, radiator).

Yeah I'm gunna pull that portion of the dash apart tomorrow...I have turned every nob pulled on all connectors while it's not working first time I reached behind the dash and pulled on the wire that moves when the speed is selected and that work. But not this time
If it worked before, then that's probably where the issue is. Normally if a switch is going bad you can get it to work by thumping it, or wiggling wires connected to it, but that's only temporary because it eventually will fail. I'd start right there.Yeah I'm gunna pull that portion of the dash apart tomorrow...I have turned every nob pulled on all connectors while it's not working first time I reached behind the dash and pulled on the wire that moves when the speed is selected and that work.

Also check the ground block by the intake box. I haven't had time to pull mine off and check it. Mines doing the same. Works fine on all settings. Then nothing. Has only done it twice. But that's too many cause it's cold.
What? You never had a switch go bad slowly?um....okay.
Well I wiggled the ground under the hood heat came on....but now my 4x4 dash buttons don't work and the lights on my direction switch don't work
This is most likely the problem. Unbolt it, get the bolt out of the tab, and pop the case open, like shown in the pictures. I disconnected all the wires from the box, cut off the connectors, and crimped all the wires there into a ring terminal. Solved all my problems with it.Have you checked inside the ground splice pack?
I think everyone is still having a hard time understanding OP's problem. Is there no air coming out of the vents, or is there air coming out, but not warm air?
