Background / Symptoms:
- 1999 S70.
- Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) replaced on S70 at dealer.
- Picked up car and clock was reset (as if battary was disconnected); radio stations, etc were all set to their prior settings.
- I turned air conditioning on then was turned off.
- Turned air conditioning back on and no cold air.
- Fuse blown for climate systems, onboard diagnostics OBDII.
- Fuse replaced and AC OK for 15 miles / 30 minutes.
- Fuse keeps intermittently blowing every 15 to 30 minutes (sometimes less)
- Dealer ran fault trace to AC compressor which needs to be replaced

Question:
AC has always worked fine and it seems too coincidentalthat the compressor would fail after ETM was replaced. Are there any wires / components in the ETM area thatmay have been damaged during removal / install of ETM and are now causing this problem? I would hate to replaced the compressor and the problem remain...

Thanks in advance for your responses.

 

Turbo or not?
What is the compressor clutch gap at?

 

Non-turbo; I have no idea about the clutch gap (no tools / knowledge to measure, sorry)

 

I would have the gap checked.
