Problem overview

Some Volvo XC60 owners report experiencing issues with the blower motor not turning off with the engine, which may indicate a malfunctioning blower motor that requires replacement. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty blower motor resistor, which controls the speed of the blower fan, could be the cause of the problem, necessitating its replacement as well. Testing and troubleshooting the blower motor and resistor are essential steps for accurately diagnosing the issue. Furthermore, some models may require special tools for the replacement process, making it important to ensure that the right equipment is on hand. If owners are uncertain about performing the replacement themselves, seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or Volvo specialist is advisable for accurate diagnosis and repair. Engaging with online forums and communities can also provide valuable insights and support from fellow Volvo enthusiasts who may offer helpful tips or alternative solutions.
