2015 XC70 D4 with 180000km / 112000 miles. The blower fan stopped working but was replaced recently. The issue is with a defective blower fan resistor. Replacing it solves the issue.

To test the blower: short the two thick wires: Black and Black/White.

Thank you Evgeny and Volvo Sweden once again for a great video that showed me I could repair my car by myself. It was really tricky to both cut through the fabric since you need a really sharp knife and to reach the resistors and get enough moment to turn it. I recommend eye protection if the knife slips. Did this during -12 degrees Celsius too so it was a pain. Battery had died because of the blower fan not turning off. Jump starter refused to start car because of electrical problem with the resistor. After changing it, there was no problem in starting the car.

I currently need to do something to fix the fan and it stopped blowing sort of out of the blue. The entire panel is working in terms of functionality. I am also able to get the seat heater and all that so it’s not that component. I did, however purchased the relay for the fuse box, but I cannot get the bolt off of the fuse box in order to get to the relay below in the compartment in the engine area, which is really frustrating so I may just opt for fixing the resistor is there anyway to diagnose it without actually pulling on the yellow and black wires as you suggested would you suggest doing that before I purchase a resistor or just get one anyway

@JasonLee-lv7tm Жыл бұрын

Oh your going to fix the resistor are you? Lmao, well it’s been 3 months since you posted that and I bet you didn’t fix anything yourself. No offense but if you can’t figure out how to change a relay, just find a professional to work on your car

Hi, I am just doing the job since my fan stopped working. Concerning the fan check: Is it really bridging black(without white) and yellow/red? There seems to be no currency at all. Or does this refer to a broken fuse or the actual worst case: blower fan? Between yellow/red and black/white, I can measure 12+ Volts.... but I do not dare to short cut. Any ideas? THXALOT

@inscriptiondrive891 Жыл бұрын

Finally got the fan working again, by simple moving it by hand. The fuse box for start/stop engines is right below the windscreen; you have to disassemble the wipers.... From there, you have access to the fan through the intake window. I suppose that something fell into the fan and blocked it. Anyhow, no expensive repair or alternatively several hours as human snake below the dashboard. I would recommend to do this check in case of fan issues, it is only half as painful as working on the resistor or the even the blower motor itself. Cheers!

@serendipity24000 Жыл бұрын

Thanks volvosweden for making this video, it's been very helpful. As regards testing the fan, on my 2008 UK RHD V70, I had to bridge the black and the black/white. Bridging black and yellow/red did nothing. I looked at the wiring diagram and bl to bl/wh makes more sense. Managed to blow the Jcase 40A fuse when doing the test for the first time - touched the wrong wire possibly?! But after replacing the fuse and then doing the test again more carefully, my fan runs at full speed, result! Luckily it's a lot easier in the RHD cars to access the blower fan resistor. Just remove the glovebox and it's easy to get at and on my car at least I haven't had to cut any of the carpet or sound proofing :)

I tried to replace mine and remove it with an adjustable wrench and it did not want to move. It is very small space. Is there another tool I could use? Also how can I short the wires together to test fan, Do I have to remove the wires from the plug?

Note sure what other tool will help you. Don’t remove the wires from the plug. Just take a piece of wire and short the corresponding contacts in the connector

So I have a weird issue with my blower motor, when I accelerate and decelerate the blower motor fan seems to speed up and down in unison with the RPM when in auto mode or constant speed. Otherwise it works normally. Anyone else with the same problem? Do you guys think it's the resistor?

7:00 Please edit this and point out that to test the fan, you should short Black with Black-White. I just ripped out my entire front interior to get the fan out, which when tested on the bench worked perfectly fine. 😂

Wrong wires to test resistor. Jump 1 and 3 on the resistor plug. NOT 3 and 4. I jumped 3 and 4 as instructed here in this video and ended up replacing a blower that was fine for no reason, 5 hour job. 2008 xc70, 3.2.

@JasonLee-lv7tm Жыл бұрын

There isn’t a way that your blower motor got damaged from the wiring tests that your describing even if your correct about this video describing the test wrong. The blower motor is a 2 wire DC motor. Also, if your so sure that your blower motor was perfectly fine, why would you be messing with the resistor and stuff. Obviously you had some sort of issue. Sorry to hear that you couldn’t figure out how to test it.

@JasonLee-lv7tm Жыл бұрын

The blower motor works by getting power on one wire and ground on the other and it spins. If you hooked it up backwards it would spin the opposite way. The resistor is there for it to have different speeds only. That’s why I wanted to explain to you that there is absolutely no possible way to damage it from the wiring tests that you incorrectly assumed damaged your blower motor.

@daviddefreitas7599 Жыл бұрын

3 to 4 will only connect Ye-Rd to blk, which will not do anything. you need to connect BK-WH to BK, this would close the circuit to make the motor operate, but it is pretty high amperage and it if you use too small of a wire, it will melt pretty fast. Not really sure if the motor should get full voltage. I did test, and it blasted pretty hard, it also sounded like it should not be running that fast.

@summerfox9292 5 ай бұрын

Just wondering, could you test test the motor by just plug the connector to the new resistor before install it in its place?
