Hello, this is my first time working on my 1998 V70 glt turbo. I am having a heating issue. I can hear a low whirring noise behind the dash by the steering wheel. There is heat but the blower is not blowing. When I set the fan on automatic or full and turn the center dial from defrost to heat, I hear that low sound like it is trying to move. Sounds like plastic a plastic vent trying to open or close, but the fan doesnt come on. The car switches from AC to off AC like it is supposed to when I change the settings. I checked the cabin filter and it was okay. I checked the air filter and found a huge animal nest taking up the entire space and blocking the air into or from the engine. I removed the nest and vacuumed it out and replaced everything. Still no fan, just the stuggling sounds. Could I have another nest behind the dash panel? I have been reading the forums, and I think I could change the blower if the part is the same as in my 1994 850, however, this gal does not understand relays or resistors. Would like any thoughts on anthing else I should look for before I start taking apart the glove box to access the heater motor.

 

My vote is bad blower motor. It is the same as the 850 to change it.

 

TY. I guess I had better pull the parts car blower motor.
