1995 volvo 850 defroster problems
ok I have very little air moving to windshield under defroster mode. I removed glove box and removed servo and operated by hand I CAN SEE WHY THE SERVO GO BAD hard to turn agasint blower force anyway doesn't help at all doing by hand. 95% is blowing out vents. Both yellow lights flash on cimate control when veh. is turned on. Then flashing stops. I cannot get air directed to windshield no matter what I do. What other damper servo controls windshield defrosters or do I have a control problem???

the flashing lights are the climate control computer telling you there is a fault code. Check out volvotips.com to see if you can pull the codes from the OBD1 LED box. There are something like 5 servo motors controlling the air blend doors - it sounds like the one opening to the defroster is either out of sync or bad.

There's a passenger's side temperature servo and also the defroster servo.

Since you are in there anyway, can you tell whether or not that damper does what you think it does? I don't know whether the ventilation damper has to be in a certain position for the defroster to work, but I would guess not. It's probably just open/closed going to the dash vents. if that's true then it needs to close. If the air is coming out the vents when you want defrost, then in fact the dash vent servo failing is the actual problem.

So as a emergency procedure you can clamp a small pair of vise grips to red **** being careful not to crush plastic and get some air direction to the windshield, of course you have to leave glove box out. Taking off servo on defrost shaft I temp. pushed a long rubber hose over shaft and can twist that one as well.This one also controls vent to drivers and pass. feet with air.

The fifth one is outside or inside air only there are really 4 that control in the car air blending and defrost take two of them to get the job done. Both of mine were bad. If the servos are fixable because of the grease and get back into time then ecc should become clear then.

Contortionist for sure, good think I am trim and fit yet. Yes this will be a time for making creative tools. Still hard on a 68 year old. I like my race car better easier to work on lmao.
