Sorry if this question has already been asked but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. What is the easiest way to replace the blower motor resistor on a 1990 240 DL? Is there a way to "Jerry Rig" it? I can see were the wires go into the plastic housing and they are melted and stuck together. The blower motor only works on high and no other setting. What I was thinking was to buy the resistor and just mount it somewhere under the dash. Is this a bad idea? Volvo really tried to make the replacement a real pain.

Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nick

 

I don't know about jury rigging the resistor pack, considering where it is, I would replace it and the blower motor while I was there.

Here is everything you need to know in a pictorial form.

Just keep in mind Volvo built the car around the blower motor, to me it is the Super Bowl of Interior repairs.

Good Luck

Thanks for the link. I think that your right about building the car around the blower motor. WOW

 

was wondering how this worked out for you.

 

one of many major improvments on the 740/940 was the complete redesign of the HVAC, the fan motor and resistor are easily accessible behind the glovebox.
