I dont know if your car has the same control model that is on my wifes car, which is a 97. On her car, the vents would close intermittantly because of the failure of the control module circuit board connection to the pins on the connector. I pulled the module out (to the right of the middle of the dash, not much to dissassemble) and resoldered the pins on the back of the circuit board which fixed the problem. I did consider the possiblility of a leak but that was ruled out. Lots of times, you will have the vents opening or closing depending on level of vaccuum which depends on the engine speed. It could be a mechanical vaccuum problem or it could be a control module that went south. Since it seems to have happened all of a sudden, I would lean more toward an electrical glitch which is not uncommon in Volvos. Good Luck.
