Re: Let's see your Volvo (The Photo Thread)

I just got my s40 with 94k miles. I'm leaving in 2 days for a road trip to Baltimore. I'll post a thread about it.

(with the ignition turned to position II) The results are as follows; Pin 2 DCV 79.1 Pins 3 and 4 both .007 ACV with no change when adjusti...

Re: 2001 S40 A/C only blows on high or off

So, I'm reviewing the troubleshooting link you've sent me, thanks for that. That link also took me to another helpful guide for understanding relays. Unfortunately, my computer will not go to the other S40 forum that I was directed to by your link to the related forum on our site, the computer is te...

The negative on my meter won't reach the battery. I'm trying to locate ground straps in my engine compartment.

Re: 2001 S40 A/C only blows on high or off

For the ground, I used a screw that holds the metal step to the door frame. Its pictured above.
No,neither the climate control nor the the indicator lights are working.
Is there a test i can use to see if my ground is good?

Re: 2001 S40 A/C only blows on high or off

TEST RESULTS* 1. With scope in DC Volts mode, on pin 2 you should read 0.00 volts (relative to chassis/ground) you should read 0 on Pin 2 as it is supposed to be grounded at 31/1 via 43/401. Scope modes; DCMA:0.00 DC10A= .000 DCV= Variable; I could not get a constant reading on this setting 2. On Pi...

Re: 2001 S40 A/C only blows on high or off

* one more note* With the connector removed from the speed CTRL and the jump removed from the connector, I believe the air conditioner is still on, only not blowing. I say that because under my glove box, where we're working, there is cold condensation and the a/c seems to be making sound like it's ...

Re: 2001 S40 A/C only blows on high or off

Thanks for the information and diagram. Here's where I'm at, with my limited understanding and ability to apply the information you've provided. I removed the jumper from the connector and connected it to my speed CTRL, which I (mis ?)understand to be pin 4. The connection is fine but yields no effe...
