heater blower issue
#1
![Question](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello I have a 2013 S60 T5 is has 89xxx miles on it really no issues until now.The night before came home no issues but when my wife drove it the problem began. As she was driving the heater in the cabin came on even though on the screen it said it was off, needless to say it gets warm in the car. From what I gather it may be the heater blower motor resistor. Volvo wants gasp almost 1000 to fix it I have ordered a shop manual as I do work on my own cars. The only way I can get the heater to shut off is to disconnect the negative lead of the battery. Anyone have any thoughts am I looking to replace the resistor or might it be something else? Thank you.

It looks like fuse 11 , a 40 amp fuse under the hood is for the heater fan motor. A wiring diagram disk is included in a complete copy of VIDA also. (the 3rd picture is from the wiring diagram)
Yes it is probably the resister - a scan with VIDA would tell you. The free copy with a DICE unit will work on your car. The price quoted from the dealer probably includes the heater fan motor - and i guess it's possible the heater motor damaged the resister - or they just want to make sure there are no comebacks.
