This morning, when I first started the car, the blower fan
ran for about 2 seconds and then stopped (1998 S70 T5M, 40K
miles). It sounded odd (a groaning type of noise) but I
did not hear anything that sounded like something was stuck
in the fan. The vent control LEDs then came on and flashed
(very festive for this time of year).
If I turn off the ignition and try again I get the same thing.
Drove to work (35 miles) thinking it might be better once
warmed up but same thing occured after the car well warmed up.
Any idea about what I am looking at? I have heard horror
stories about replacing fans on the FWD models. Hoping
service is easier on the 70 series.
Thank goodness for heated seats, space in the garage and
mild California winters.
Thanks in advance.
