blazen244 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I see the light for the air condition switch and the recycle switch flash when I start the car. I've never seen this before I also noticed the fan isn't blowing at all, are the lights flashing indicating something other than the motor being blown or should I look deeper?

jablackburn Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 If the blower motor isn't working, that's probably what it's mad at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Welcome to the Angery AC club. Means somethings wrong with your system. And if its not blowing, its your blower motor, or resistor. go to the jy, spend 20 minutes, and $20 to get both of those. Throw the resistor in you pocket. and the motor on the table. replace yours, and enjoy the AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazen244 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 thanks guys, and where might the resistor be located Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reximus Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 thanks guys, and where might the resistor be located if you know where the blower motor is located, just left to that motor, there is a square electrical device there. that is the resistor... once you have pulled it out, it has cooling fins behind it. cheers!

B2 is what you want. http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/47502-dtc-information/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other ports are ok, so i wondered if the resistor could possibly be the culprit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other ports are ok, so i wondered if the resistor could possibly be the culprit? i believe what czar meant was B1 port, the one in the corner of B connector anyways. intermittent blower problem usually comes down to blower motor itself. since once it starts to spin, it won't stop and cause problem. you have electronic climate control for sure? (temperature setting and variable fan speed instead of just hot/cold dial and 1234 fan speed) only electronic climate control have diagnostic capabilities. and with electronic climate control, the blower motor resistor is actually a power stage. with this electronic part, once it fails, 99% of the time it doesn't start to work again without replacement of the power stage. blower motor is a "electrical" appliance, meaning that it will somehow come back to live when the condition is right cheers!

I'll be doing the replacement tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it fixes the problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazen244 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Im at a lost now, the blow motor wasn't the problem I don't have voltage at the motor but the fuses are passing voltage. Are the resistors different on some models, I got one out of a 94' not thinking it would be different so back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazen244 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I can't tell the difference but, I could post a picture of what it looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
