Hi there I'm looking for a working climate control box for my Volvo 850 mine went flashing then burnt a fuse or something so I uninstalled it and now I'm in desperate need of one before the cold weather comes along. I'm in Vancouver, WA so if anyone knows where I might be able to get one for cheap please let me know.

 

oh ya it's a 1993

 

You would have a lot more luck posting this in the wanted section. I would try eBay though, there's always miscellaneous switches and what not on there. Or search through craigslist for someone parting out a car.

 

I am parting out a 850 T-5R and have this

1994 850 T 2.3L Electronic Climate Control ECC


Symptoms were flashing Rec and AC lights for about 2 minutes not just the 20 second kind. All dampers stuck open and most A3 code failures. Fan worked on sliding scale but directional selector has no effect.


I bought a used ECC module on eBay for $59USD. Based on all my internet readings all symptoms pointed to a bad ECC module including the Volvo dealership diagnostics which cost $150USD. I disconnected the battery and replaced the ECC module but fuse 31 blew and SRS module circuit board melted along pins A 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 just like my original ECC module. I twice re-soldered the original board with the same results, that's why I purchased the eBay module. Well it turned out I had multiple fused wires under/behind the passengers side SRS black metal knee plate. I traced and replaced about 20-25 bad wires and 2 connectors. I completely rewired the AC switch connector. Fabricated connectors from $18USD Radio Shack wires and connectors. Securred everything with zip ties and electrical tape. Apparently Volvo repairmen left the wires dangling when they did numerous repairs over the years. (I'm the original owner and stopped using Volvo for any repairs about 3 years ago.)

 

Corrected ECC in last reply.
