You will need a torx bit set, I am not sure of the size, but all the torx screws in the removal should be the same size. First, removed the panel under the glove box, then remove the glove box itself. The you will see the SRS passenger air bag plate, which is held on by 3 nuts, 13mm if I remember right. Then take that out. Now you will see the blower to the right when looking through the opening in the glove box. To the left you will a black flat plug which is plugged into the back of the rectangular shaped Resistor; it has an ear on it where there is a screw attaching the resistor to the ventilation duct. Simply unplug the resistor and remove screw. Installation is reverse of removal.

SOURCE: Replaced my ac blower motor, but still no fan action

C'mon man , the resistors are in the switch, you have a relay im sure, check your wiring diagram
check for the power wire going from your relay to blower motor, this is what can burn up, i put a in line fuse on mine :)

It is the resistor that is causing that.

It requires replacement, attempting to repair it is not advisable.

The resistor is bottom connector (h2) in the picture:

Hi, intermittent problems are usually a bad switch or motor. My first guess would be the switch.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6234839-doesn_t_heater_or_air_conditioner_blow . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Where is the 1996 Volvo blower motor resistor located?

It is in the dash board behind the glove compartment and inside the ventilation duct. It is held in by one screw and has a flat plug going into it. To access it, removed the glove compartment housing and the panel beneath the glove box. Then remove the SRS air back plate which has 3 nuts holding it on. The you will be able to see the blower motor and resistor. The dash board comes apart with a torx bit, I forget the size.

Hi I have a 1996 T100 the Blower fan for the ac/heater goes on and off when in the on position no matter what speed it on ,I changed the bloer switch but contiues to do the same thing any advise ?

you could have a bad blower motor resistor that the resistor wire is making and braking contact disrupting the power to the motor.it could also be a loose or dirty connector at the resistor or the motor itself a bad ground at the motor or a bad blower motor.

Fan blower motor only works on high position (either heat or ac) and the brearings squeel. Do in need to replave both the motor blower and resistor?

That's what it sounds like to me.

If the blower is making noise than the only thing you can do is replace it.

Blower resistors typically operate by dropping voltage through a set of resistors. The lower the speed the more resistance is needed. High speed requires no resistance and usually bypasses the resistor assembly.

Replaced my ac blower motor, but still no fan action

near the blower motor, by the back of the cockpit there should be a resisotor that has about 3-6 wires going to it that is mounted in the air box, they mount it in here so that air flowing through the system cools the resistor making it last longer, if this did not help i will search my manual for a more precise location.

Volvo 850 heater blower

As you can read in the first response that is most likely the problem..as long as you're gonna be doing all the labor, if you can afford it replace both the resistor and motor at he same time if you plan on keeping the car.

If you can, check if there is voltage at the blower motor connector with the ignition on and the engine not running. If you have voltage, the blower is bad. If no voltage, it may be a bad blower switch, the blower motor resistor assembly, or the wiring between them.

The resistor assembly is on the evaporator housing under the dash on the passenger side and near the blower motor. The glove box must be removed to check this and the blower. A thermal limiter resistor is built into the resistor assembly and will open, ie melt, with excessive heat.

Without more details on this, it appears either your blower motor or the blower motor resistor assembly is bad.
