Hi, could anyone please guide me on how to access the lower unit fuse box. My climate system blower on my xc70 2010 is not working anymore and I want to check if it is the fuse #11 40A.
Thank you

 

The fuse is probably fine i have a xc60 2010 and on those cars the problem is the blower itself.
What i did was removing the side lower panel ( on the driver side its the one closest to your right foot for us cars ) once the cover is removed take a long bar with a hammer and tap the blower ( and yes you can reach it ) a couple of times and it will start working.
yes this is a quick fix that wont last forever but at least you will have your blower in the meantime...

 

If I understood correctly you mean the panel in the middle console beside the gas pedal (US/Can model). How do I get it off? Just pry it carefully?
Thanks in advance.

That's it pry it carefully work only with your hands pretty straight forward.

Sorry to revive this zombie thread, but I am having the exact same problem: no fan. Nothing. Not on high, not intermittent. Just dead.

I found this thread because I was looking for info on how to access the relay under the fuse box. But maybe I will try the caveman method of tapping the motor.

My question is, is it better to access the motor through the instrument panel, than under the driver footwell?

Thanks
