No air circulation / flashing lights at start up. 850 1993

Your vent damper motor just needs a little silicone spray, it is getting slow from lack of use. This is the damper that controls fresh air Vs the cabin air only. I have run the recirc switch a few times to help the vent speed up, but it became slow again soon.

The 2-3-3 could need a new motor. If you pull it from a donor car, not the position of the damper on the donor and try to make your damper be in the same position when putting the motor on. You will need to go to Mode 5 to get the system to accept the new motor - a real pain in the neck.

Get it fixed before it gets cold out or you will not get any heat on the feet.
