Thanks for the feedback Neil and sorry to not update this thread. boss has me working OT out the butt. I got another junkyard climate control box. (2nd one) So far it's been working down to 43*F. It looks like freezing temperatures are finished here in North East Tennessee for the year unfortunately...

I do indeed now have 2 inop ECC's. Funny thing is the first one wouldn't work below 45 the second one at least works until under 35. It was 40 this morning and it came on fine. I am also thinking it might be something else, and am going to look at the associated wiring and schematic. But It looks li...

I'm back to report that my junkyard ECC also doesn't work when it's below 40. I'm glad I have heated seats. https://youtube.com/shorts/AHmhQJoOPxQ I keep looking for any abnormalities on the actual PCB of the original but I don't see anything with my naked eye or under a magnifier glass. I guess I'm...

I use timeserts. I feel like more of a professional repair, but helicoil is an FAA approved repair as well.

Bumping this because I'm having the same issue. I drove 30 minutes to work spraying about a gallon of washer fluid on the windshield in 24 degrees the other morning. I have verified 12v power at the ECC plug during the non working time. I just replaced my ECC from one from a junkyard. Hopefully it's...

Just to redeem myself from anyone who thinks I'm crazy for gambling with questionable online parts purchases. This actually turned out to be a really good deal. My compressor(zexal OEM for 1998) was leaking at the middle split Oring seal. I was pleasantly surprised when this zexel arrived for just 1...

So I'm a cheap ass, and this summer was brutal in the 98 with a leaking condenser. So I tried repairing it as economically as possible. here are the results of my struggles. figured this is a good place for this. Factory condenser is a USA made Zexel. very nice quality, hard to bend the fins. The li...

Haha, this thread is funny. It should be "How long have you gone without doing any maintenance or modifications on your Volvo recently." My hood is always up.

Mine did this when I bought my 98 S70. no gauges worked except the idiot lights and the trip/odo. All was well after I replaced the cluster. $45 junkyard part, I got lucky the mileage was close on the jy unit.

I got a Victor reinz online for 15 dollars. Have about 15k miles on it so far. No complaints.
