Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Hmmm, if you can't find the fault bash it!! :roll:

Sometimes it does work.

I am assuming that the vehicle is fitted with the automatic temperature control as you have a flashing light on the AC button. This is telling you there is a fault in the system, which you already know. Unfortunately, to find what it is you need a fault code reader linked to the Data Link Connector. I don't know if the common or garden code readers can read AC fault codes or if it will need a Volvo specific code reader. My first stop would be at a good auto electrician who should have a code reader that may do the trick. If you can get a code post it here for more help.
