Hey everybody,

I have a 95 940 and the fan for the heater/ac has been having issues for about 2-3 years. One day it just kind of died on me when on a long drive through the desert. When I got the time to take my dash apart i discovered that the connector on the back of the control panel had partially melted. I went to a junkyard and pulled a control panel out of a car there and it worked perfectly for a while. Eventually the high range fan speeds started going out on me and now it has almost completely died. I can feel cool air coming through the vents and I can swith between feet, defrost, face etc. but there is no blowing power from the fan.

Is this a problem with the voltage regulator? Maybe the vacuum lines have something to do with it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Pete

 

hotwire the blower fan motor and verify the motor isn't dragging or dying... if so, you'll need a new blower motor, major pain to replace, requires diasssembling the whole dash.

 

The blower motor is probably bad, and it is pretty easy to replace: passenger side, just take off the under glove box shield, and there it is, 5 or so bolts, and it falls right out, about $100-140 new...

 

Thanks guys, I'll try what you said and hopefully i'll get my ac back!

 

oh yeah, its the 240's where its a bear to get at, they fixed that on the 740/940. heater core, another story entirely. hah!
