- Here we show the common problem, where the climate control fan on a P3 Volvo (S60 V60 S80 V70 XC70 XC60) will not turn off. We show the symptoms, the fix instructions and the parts list.

Just did this and it works. The hardest part for me was getting the new resistor into the gap. This video and others say to slide it in from the top and/or backwards. After spending what seemed like 30 minutes on my back while working with a flashlight and having no luck, I decided to try it blind and by feel. I flipped over on my stomach giving me no clear sight line up into the cavity (my head faced down while nudged against the console), reached around the brake pedal with my left hand (I'm right-handed) and inserted the new resistor (rods-forward) straight through the gap. Somehow -- seemingly miraculously -- it went through barely hitting the sides. Getting it into the hole after that was easy. Then I locked it in with a small adjustable wrench. Inserting the wire harness was a little tricky because the wires are so thick and the tight space makes it hard to manipulate. Once inserted slightly, I pushed it the rest of the way with a long flat-head screwdriver.
Hearing the fan run normally -- and shut off when I turned the car off -- was well worth the effort. And I know I saved a boatload of money. One local auto shop told me any Volvo fan repair was at least a 10-hour job because it needed to be done from the engine side. The local Volvo dealership wanted $700 just to replace my battery (it simply needed charging) before they could even diagnose my problem. Bottom line: If your Volvo has a fan that won't stop when you cut off your engine, buy the $25 resistor on Amazon and replace it yourself. Don't give up. If I can do it, you can do it.
Awesome!!!! It was for sure one of the trickiest jobs, along with cabin air filters, pedal swaps..... all in the same place. Now the climate control fan is squeaking and not looking forward to ripping the entire dash apart to source and swap the blower motor.
I’m a woman that just puts the gas in and go. I wonder if I can do this on my s60? The battery is fully charged that’s no problem. Everything comes on in the dash the fan comes on. Of course it won’t cut off unless you unplug the battery but the only thing is the vehicle is not cranking up, so is it worth it for me to go down there and attempt to replace this part as you see or as you have in this video and then, find out that I cannot get the car to turn on? It’s been sitting for ride it almost 2 years if not two years simply because I had no idea what was going on. I had literally just pay someone $700 to replace the battery and we just simply did not have it and we just used our other cars and it sat there so I have no idea what’s going on and I hate to go all the way in there do all that and the car still doesn’t work.
@@locdveganfoodie hmmm, well if the car isn't turning on, I would attack that issue first. But other than that, it is a very doable, just painful job.
Exactly the same setup on my 2013 S60 T5. I discovered I can feel claustrophobia in my hands, but still luckily passed this trial today thanks to your video! I also ended up cutting out some of the foam and going for the up and out. It's amazing how many ways it seems to be able to face in that gap before it wants to come out. The foam was easy to score with a knife and just pull out with its thin skin and fluffy backing. Good looks!
Very helpful, I had to turn, disconnect and pull the unit out before I could get the wiring harness off on my 2015 xc60. Replaced the unit and plugged the harness back in. 20 min job after I figured out how to deal with the harness. Good as new!
Getting that part OUT was the most fun I've ever had in my life, it was a complete BLAST!! Afterwards, I was so disappointed the fun was over, I just decided to bash my own face in with a rubber mallet..........over and over again. Clearly, that part was designed to NEVER come out. What a terrible design! Thanks for the video, I might have just cut the damn truck right down the middle with a plasma saw otherwise..........
yeah, honestly, it was up there in the top 5 crappiest Volvo repairs, right there with the pedal swap for the m66 tranny swap,
to me the insulation around that part was too much and also the metal brackets that are attached to the brake servo was a hassle...i took them apart and trimed them off and removed insulation as wsell around were the part goes....much easier nows...modified it so that next time it goes out and in much easier ...im kinda huge person so i had to remove the driver seat that way i can face the part upside down
I had exactly the same problem on my v70 - 2013 last week. But I ordered a resistor and that solved the problem. So tight and terrible to switch it, but it worked.
Hell yeah. Thanks for watching and thanks for not going to the dealer for service. 😅
Thanks. I have this problem now on my right hand drive UK car. Not looking forward to the contortions but hopefully it's on the same side so don't have the pedals in the way.
@@TheSabahKazmiChannel Did it today - tough job for old bones. Two tips: 1. Take the pollen filter cover off to give your wrist a little more room. 2. Walk away from the car and take a break then come back with fresh eyes. Thanks again for your video.
@@caahacky awesome and thanks
Thx for the video. Considering if I should do this as preventative maintenance on my XC60 with over 200k
Maybe. But it is not hard to source the part and replace same day. So your call.
Having this problem currently and cant fit my hand in the hole😊
Sometimes you just got to take a few cuts and scrapes
for a 2011 s60 T6 is it the same location
I could not say for sure. Sorry.
@@moosedroppings i just went ahead and removed the panel its the same for both of my s60 and s80 as well same years same location but on an s60 its muucch worse i hade to use a flexable razor to remove alittle insolation around were the part screws in and it went in like a charm , saved alot thanks man apprecait your your work ,,,my arms are killing me no wonder they would charge ,,,,well AN arm and leg for this cause its painful to do
Ah. Good to know. Thanks for reporting back.
@@moosedroppings my way of saying thank you no problem take care
