On one of your earlier postings you provided a picture of the blower resistor pack and I believe it is identical to the one I have with the exception that it may have a different manufacturing date. I have taken a picture of mine but I can't seem to get it into this response. Thanks for your continu...

Following the link to Digikey, I tried to find the replacement thermal fuse that is on the aftermarket Meyle 5008400001 blower resistor I have, and I couldn’t find it. I would describe the fuse I have as being copper in color with two bands of marking, “216KR1” and “C5301”. I have tried searching on...

Once again, thanks for your input. I have a wiring diagram for the MCC system from the Original Technical Publications DVD I bought for about $45 which was described as the "best", but the one you sent is way better to understand and deal with. Can you tell me the name of the book it came ...

Thanks again for your reply, it's been most helpful. I've ordered a couple of those replacement thermal fuses and hopefully I'll be able to save a couple of those expensive blower resistor parts.

First off, yes. You may well have a worn motor that's taking out your speed controlling device. But, first - There are two climate control systems available in these cars. The basic MCC and the more sophisticated ECC, so, it would be helpful to start with the basic question: Is your system MCC or E...

If the resistor fails, three things can cause it: 1. rust rots through wire (not the issue is it is pristine when removed) 2. Blower air inlet is obstructed or the evaporator is plugged with debris. If it is these things then it would not have good air volume when on HIGH. The low airflow lets the ...

The Volvo blower is known to crap out after about 20 years, pulling excess current and blowing the transistor pack (its actually not a resistor pack like Grandpas Volvo was) Thanks for your response. Planning to replace the blower motor. I have learned that there is a thermal fuse on the resistor t...

Heat is what destroys a resistor. Excess current draw produces excess heat, which would destroy a resistor real fast. Have you cleaned out the blower cage of dead leaves and other debris that can create a excess load on the blower motor therefore, more current draw from the blower motor? When was t...

I have a 1995 Volvo GLT wagon and fortunately a son who is an expert auto mechanic with 20 years of experience to help me maintain it. After I first began using my AC this season I had the symptom that the AC would only work when the blower motor was set on the maximum speed, indicating that the blo...
