Default Weird no heat problem--please help!

Hello everyone,

I am brand new here, I am suffering a very weird s70 heat problem, hope you guys could give me some suggestion...

Mine is a 99 s70 base model, everything was just fine till last month. The A/C indicatior started blinking (the green one) and i lost all my heat. And i found i lost the control of the air vent (i mean the choice of the direction of air blow, head only or half head half feet or feet oly).

I was pretty sure the AC worked when i turned it on, but just no heat anymore. I am able to adjust the strength of the air blow... So weird.

Please help!! Thanks a lot!!!!

You need to have the codes read so you'll know which part is bad.

Default Air vents

I lost control of the vents on my 98 V70 last year and Osteen Volvo had to replace a electric damper motor for about $750. Mine has automatic climate control with dual zones. No lights blinked, just the air was stuck half out the defrost and half the dash vents.

My dealership made it seem it was a common problem on this model.
