I called a local volvo shop and asked if they can go in with their computer software and turn off the after-blow feature. Answer - no. They can turn of things like the DRL stuff but not the after-blow.
Shop feels that it is probably a fan resistor or another resistor. Asked cost and he said they just recently did one and if he remembers it was $400.
Ouch! Just had the DIM rebuilt for $200, the AC clutch is acting up and now $400 for an after-blow problem.
The sticky for DIM repair was a great help because removal and install of the instrument cluster was a breeze.
IS there a sticky on replacing the resistors or getting blowers rebuilt or what do I really need to fix?
I might start with getting the battery stress tested. With the after-blow feature the battery gets more action then a car that doesn't run blowers with the car engine turned off. Perhaps a 3 year old battery is far too much to ask with a car that uses after-blow.
Plus I've read multiple articles about batteries and how they contain less lead than in previous times. Therefore they don't last as long. Good marketing plan. Now batteries don't last as long and the price for them is rising.
Maybe I need to do some checking for parasitic drain. Is there a favorite place that a 2002 S60 would have parasitic drain.
I know of some other cars that had heaters tied into the door locks to keep them from icing up in the winter. The problem was that things went awry and it could create a massive failure with battery drain. I'm wondering if the 2002 S60 has its own favorite drain?
