Year is 89. Bought the car 4 months ago with blower motor not working so I can't say how rest of system was before the swap. Now, after the swap, I'm having trouble with A\C system. Not surprised that the Air cond. doesn't work, nor am I surprised by my eagerness to get it fixed B4 upcoming arizona 120 deg. heat. With that said here's the prob: 1. Air blowing thru vents stays at one temp. only (same temp. as air outside, makes sense); there is no fluxuation in temp. whatsoever upon moving temp. control lever back and forth. 2. the air compressor runs continuously, as long as the a\c knob is turned to ON.
So I have luke-warm air blowing thru vents and an air compressor that doesn't want to rest. The two factors combined don't seem to make a lot of sense but then again I've seen a lot worse. Like I said I don't know how the a\c system was B4 Bcuz I bought the car that way, and I probably shouldn't rule out the fact that I may have exchanged one prob. for another during the swap. Besides the obvious fact that system may need freon, does anyone have any ideas on how to get the compressor to cycle on\off, AND the air temp. to fluxuate so it will blow CCCCCOLD during upcoming scorcher? Any sug. would be appreciated. Thank you.


By the way this is my first time owning a volvo. Have to say it was nice to find a new blower motor in the trunk when I got the car home from the auction, It quickly became obvious why it was still in there after an hour or two into the job.
