Hi Art! I appreciate your kind comments and feedback. You have assisted me in the past several times with 240 issues. I always wished I could just drive down from York to Baltimore to have you help me!
I used your 1990 files (the one on removing the dash and the one on blower motor replacement). I didn't find the switches at the console confusing whatsoever. Not sure if I followed your info there or not. The wires were just labeled as they were removed.
Volvo wanted $1300+ to do the repair! Swedish Motors in Marietta, PA, gave me the $775 estimate, but the car was in Phoenix with my son, and I just happened to be house-sitting for him there, so why not do the blower motor while I'm here? E-gads!
I will check out the AC issues that you've mentioned. I did check the fuse, and that's good. The compressor's not kicking in. I recently fixed the AC on my 1993 940 wagon and somewhat recall jumping the switch. I have an extra Pressostat out here that I could try, too.
As for your files, I found them extremely helpful and very well detailed. I did seem to jump around a lot with the pictures and next time (if ever) would have them printed and spiral bound at a copier store, which would be much easier to refer to than a PDF on a tablet.
In another post, I mentioned a slight thump when turning the steering wheel to the right, which I hear only when the car is off. I wonder if I didn't hook something up incorrectly and something's hitting a piece of plastic somewhere. I felt down the steering column, though, and all of the space seems clear.
As well, I mentioned how when I was straightening out the wheel to remove the instrument cluster, I turned the wheel about a quarter turn too far to the left, and the wheel locked up. I couldn't get my key to turn at all. After a lot of jiggling over about 15 minutes, the key finally turned. That happened twice, and I'm not sure why.
I also have a blob of yellow mushy stuff on the first freeze-out plug near the front of the engine. Hoping this isn't a head gasket issue. I've never seen a build-up like this before.
Again, I thank-you so very much for posting your informative files. I'm sure you put a lot of time and effort into providing this tool for all of us to use. You're a gem!
Wishing you a nice day,
Susan
