The blower on my wife's '99 V70 is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've searched and found some info on older 850s and the automatic AC systems, but I'm not sure they are the same as mine.

I don't drive the car much, but I think it either works correctly or doesn't work at all. When it works, the blower runs quietly.

When I switch to the 0 position, the AC goes off. When I turn it up to 1-2-3-4, the AC comes on, but not the fan, except sometimes. This seems like the switch is working even when the fan is not.

I have tried to spray contact cleaner into the fan speed switch, but I don't know if the spray actually gets through the dash cowl to the switch.

My wife wants to take it to the dealer and say "Fix it!" while I go apply for a third mortgage?

What next? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
