AC problem 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be MikeKal on  Fri Jun 20 04:14 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Don't waste your time replacing sensors. First check to see if electrical power is getting to the compressor clutch. If so the problem which is quite common with Volvo compressors is a bad thermo switch inside your compressor. It cannot be fixed and the compressor must be replaced. At first you won't notice the problem unless you live in a tropical climate. The problem will only happen when the ambient temperature is very warm. The condition will worsen until the A/C will cut off at 75 degrees.
