Finally let go of the S70 today. Traded it for another Subaru... that's the second one I've acquired in the past week :lol: It went to a Volvo enthusiast who has an XC90 V8, and has had many other Volvos. I'm more than happy to see it go to a good home where it will live on as a daily driver, exactl...

Re: Immobilizer question

Just scanned over the thread a bit, and while I may have missed some key details, what I gather is that you're having the starting issue that you stated in the OP, requiring a reset of that 15A fuse (or the battery possibly) before the car will start.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

So when you say " tucked ", do you mean that you mount the fan to the inside of the shroud instead of where it normally sits ( bolted to the outside ) ? If so, does that improve the cooling ? Correct. It's mostly for space savings, I'm not sure if there is any difference in cooling abilit...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I believe that is the correct orientation, yes.

There is big combo of washers and o rings to install these, along with those yellow clips. I always bypass that junction box anyway, so they never go back in. The box is too fragile to not replace. I've broken most of them that I've messed with.
