Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

The relay block is behind the centre console.

Thank you for the diagram ,I located the fan relay and the relay block,I turned on the a/c and the fan came on in 5 minutes,This is my first 960, I have / owned several 240 s/w's 1984-1989, a sweet 85, 2 door coupe(been sitting in a field 5 years),and now a Volvo 960, Please someone tell me an amazing mileage story about your 960,this car has alot more gas pedal than a 240 !

How about my '91 960 on a trip from Blackpool to Durham City, a distance of 137 miles, some on motorway some on country roads. I filled the tank in Blackpool and again in Durham. The journey time was 2.5 hours - mileage return was 35mpg.

I never managed that figure again but on long runs I could hit 30+mpg regularly.
