Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

2000 T6 blower issue

Post by wolfspiritky »

I've noticed on 6 or 7 occasions over the past month an issue with my blower motor. After driving with the air on, my wife or I, when we shut the car off everything goes off as it should. We go back out to the car 10-30 minutes later and the blower motor is running. Open the car and there is air coming from the dash vents :?

Has anyone else had anything like this happen? What could be the cause?

Terry,
This is perfectly normal...it's getting the condensation out of the A/C vents and lines. It's hotter now so your car is cooling and drying things out. Without this feature your A/C's Evaporator will live a short(er) life like they did with the 850's.

"Normal"....a word I rarely get to hear. At least I'm seldom accused of it anyway.

Learn something new about these cars all the time.

Thanks Dave!!!

If I can get my truck sold I have my own 850 R lined up!!! Red 96 would look good parked next to my sons 97 :twisted:

Sounds good! With what you're wanting for the truck it should sell very quickly....but of course I've not seen it. :roll:
Oh, btw, the local pick-n-pull is buying vehicles for over 90cents a pound. Just thinking- depending on weight, you might get more for your truck as junk. :wink:

Do you have the name and number of that yard?? It might be worth the drive!!!

Then I can stop on the way back and pick up the R.
