Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2004AC Auxiliary Fan not coming on
1992 240GL sedan. 140,000+ miles. Just checked the fan by wiring directly. It does work. The fan is triggered by the AC relay if a teacher in the tech. school where I work is correct. Where is this relay located and what is the approximate cost? Can this be replaced easily without taking it to a dealer? Thanks for your assistance. > 1992 240GL sedan. 140,000+ miles. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks for your assistance. Volvo doesn't generally turn the fan on that way. While I'm not 100% sure, either there's a high pressure switch somewhere on the pipe from condenser to expansion orifice, or the only thing that will turn the fan on is the temperature switch in the radiator.  SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. NOTE: new address!! Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) << > 1992 240GL sedan. 140,000+ miles. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks for your assistance.

The relay is on the front of the strut column on the driver's side of the car. Easy fix. << > 1992 240GL sedan. 140,000+ miles. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks for your assistance. >Volvo doesn't generally turn the fan on that way.

I will look in the a.m. to see if it is in the same location on the 240. Thanks to all for your replies! Jim Hello If you find out how to fix this problem. Pass along the info because my'92 240 has the same problem. I too saw this relay in the schematic I looked at.But could not find it on the car. Anyone have any info?

It appears the clip is cracked a little and am wondering if it was removed at the dealership during testing of the Air Mass Meter which was replaced. |
