Problem overview

Some Volvo XC90 owners report experiencing climate control issues after parts replacement, often due to common factors such as refrigerant leaks, electrical climate control problems, or air conditioning compressor failures. Additionally, some owners have noted that the evaporator can become too cold and crack, leading to leaks, which may require the installation of a resistor to prevent freeze-up. Inconsistent operation of the blower motor is also a reported concern, potentially linked to problems with the blower motor transistor. Furthermore, it is advisable for owners to check the thermistor behind the climate panel for any damage or blockage that could impair system performance. Thorough diagnostics, including gathering detailed symptom information from customers, are essential for accurately identifying the root cause of these climate control malfunctions.
