Thank you for solving my heater fan problem. Afer watching your video, I was able to fix my fan, thus my heater, for only $8. And, best of all, saving me from the, still, very cold winter. THANK YOU
Thanks to your video advice my problem is now solved, not only with the part but having it fitted for me by a brilliant work colleague. All sorted...thank you 👍
Nicely done. I'll be doing this job this week. I really like my 2003 S40, but taking it to the dealership for repairs is financially ludicrous! Some repairs I have done at a local shop willing to install parts I purchase. Other repairs I DIY. Recently replaced the lift motor that drives the power window regulator. The job was not "rocket science", but takes a little research on how to take apart the door panel and remove the regulator and motor, replace the motor and put everything back together. It is my understanding that a Volvo dealership shop charges up to $700.00 for this repair! I purchased the motor for about $40.00 with discounts ($20.00 core charge) and spent a total of about 3 hours for the entire repair. I'm sure it could be done in half the time, but I went slowly and methodically. Thanks for the video. I encourage everyone to take the plunge and DIY! You'll appreciate and enjoy your vehicles more and save lots of $$$. It's surprising how easy a lot of these repairs are!
Great video worked a treat also you don't need to solder it it's just a crimp and some heat shrink you need fixed it for 3££ !!! Thank you so much you are amazing 👏
This fixed my problem! I decided to solder myself and save some money. I didn't have to bend anything just pull it out and twist it. Took me a couple of minute but with the right angle you can get it out. Be careful of old foam dust and potential battery acid powder when pulling it out. Had to clean all the acid up really good with rubbing alcohol so make sure to properly clean it. Unscrew the transistor and I just used wire cutters to cut the metal pin of the last one. Took off the old wrap on the wire and put new shrink wrap on before resoldering. Soldered the transitor moved the shrink wrap and used a heat gun on the wrap to make sure it lasts. The transistor can only go in one way. If it's not fitting easily don't force it. Just take it out and put it in the other way. This is basic soldering 101 so don't be afraid to try and fix it yourself. Getting it back in was a little trickier but I did eventually find the right angle.
Thanks for the idea, i had the similar issue. V40 model 2004, 1.9D. My internal blower speed was not stable in the last few months, but it generally worked. Suddenly it became always on, independently of the knob setting. Took out the module as seen in the video. The Big round metal thing on the heatsink is a NPN bipolar Transistor, type MJ802. The transistor was sorted inside. I replaced the MJ802 to a brand new MJ802G, and everything began working. It took me 2-3 hours and 2 euro for the replacement part. There is also a relay there. It closes only if the blower speed is set to the maximum - shorting out the transistor and getting the maximum possible fan speed.
@@intriguedmind498 I got mine at a local scrapyard. I'm sure that you can find it cheaper, search for CSA555D013 or VO 30864189. Did a quick check and I found them between 20-40$.
Thank You very much for your video. I searched on internet and found the piece. Installed it as shown by you and... YES... it works again Many Thanks !!!
Damn! You just saved for me approx 313$+work. I had this resistor in my "junkroom" but i was ready to buy a used one AC unit from scrapyard as I didn't found any fault in mine. Car services here in DK are terrible cheaters! They offered to me to change a blower but when I said that fault isn't in blower they became angry and nearly sent me to the hell :D Thanks men!
Kristians Zviedris I am glad this video helped. I couldn't believe how simple it was to change. If I were to do it again. I'd bend the metal back first to make getting the screw out easier.
Found this awesome video after quite some searching. I have a V40 model 2002, 1,8, and just 2 days ago, the air conditioner stopped sending hot air into the cabin. I can turn the AC on and off, and the fan blows somewhat erratically (when I set it on 1-3, it randomly jumps between full blast to almost nothing, and everything in between), but it does blow. And the heater has worked impeccably since I bought the car 2 years ago, but now it suddenly stopped working. And what's more, when I've been driving and have stopped and turned off the car, the fan under the hood (behind the water tank) blows on full speed for a couple of minutes, which it has not done previously. The thermometer in the dashboard does not indicate that the engine is getting hot, though. And your video has made me wonder if I might solve my problem without breaking the bank by going to the repairman. Just had all the brakes done, and would love to avoid another huge bill for a couple of months, but, y'know, winter is coming to Denmark. :-/ Anyway, thanks for the awesome video. Subscribed to your channel to catch all your stuff.
The radiator fan (under the hood) has nothing to do with the cabin fan (blower). Try setting the fan knob to the maximum (level 5). Does it start? I think you have to replace the module seen in this video. The module is right next to the air pollen filter.
What was the symptoms for this? My AC worked well during summer when I didn't need hot air but now in the fall it's still just cold air and that sucks. But the blower itself shoots air out perfectly fine, just only cold air.
So I'm having a similar issue. The blower will come on and off as it pleases, but recently , I have had no power to any of the climate controls. The "On/Off" green and orange lights will randomly turn on and off. Any ideas what this might be? Does that resistor play a part in giving power to the lights in those controls? Thanks for the vid, might try replacing mine this weekend.
So I bought it and replaced. Doesn't seem to have made a difference unfortunately. It looked like there were quite a few resistors that looked very similar to this one down there also, one glued to the car. Wondering if this has been replaced in the past. I guess my next option is to take out the whole module and see what the deal is
saku1832 My fan did not blow at all. It sounds like you may have a a problem with the motor that opens up your vents towards the windshield/defrost. It may have come loose or may be bad. You will have to go in the dash or behind the glovebox to find the little motors. There’s usually a few of them and they are small. But if that motor isn’t opening the flaps then air will not get to the windshield.
Very interessting !! I have the same problem since 2 weeks. Was the (serial)-number of the part you ordered on the old one you took out? As a matter of fact "they" also told me it would cost around 500 euros to repair. Because the car has 301000 km , I thought it would not be worth the trouble any more. But your video changed my mind and I'll try to fix it myself Thank You very much for this explanation.
I've had the same issue...just resolved it tonight. Part number is 30864189....Well, my 2002 car takes that part. Check with your possible supplier 👍 good luck
In some cars (such as Honda and Acura) its a transistor. In this car it is called a resistor. Based on the electrical circuit in this unit, the lower fan speed settings are achieved thanks to resistors. Thanks for the comment, hopefully you fixed your issue even if this video didn't help you.
Put the resistor in didn't do anything the blower still comes on when it feels like it. Sometimes it will start working after you have driven for 10 minutes sometimes it might take an hour.
@@Mrbanker5 there is a relay beside that register I can try. It's just weird that it does work only other thing I can think is some kind of computer problem
Replacing the NPN transistor : Volvo V40 1.9 diesel 04 plate: I tried to de-solder the connections but they wouldn't budge - so snipped off , and soldered new short lengths of wire - damned fiddly ! Better would have to snipped off on the transistor side of the connection and used a bullet female connector crimped on the transistor wires ( after mechanical assembly ) - but ensuring first that the bullet connector was of a size to slip over the the old solder connector - call 20/20 hindsight , anyway £3+ of ebay

@@mohamedxasan6901 I bought it in a local radio shop. Did you try Farnell, Mouser? You can try using other high current NPN power transistor.
Mines stuck on max speed after swapping the resistor. Any help anyone?!
Thanks so much for this perfect DIY video👌
Just got the resistor and fixed my 2001 V40 for 3$ (the shop wanted about 320$ for the same job😂)
Where did you get it? All the 2003 resistors I see are 80 plus dollars

It sounds like you have the same issue. I would try swapping it out with a new one. If it doesn't work, you can always return it.

Joe Curet hopefully it’s not a bad wire harness.
Joe did you fix your problem?
I have the same problem did it work??
Just for clarification, there is a relay for the A/C but not the blower motor specifically.
Hi, i have the same issue with my 2002 volvo S40, blower not working, can you supply the part number for the resistor or where i can find it?
RU1112 for the lessor expensive option. R2032242792OES for the genuine one, also more expensive. Both will work.
Did the fan blow bad only towards you or at the window and feet too? My fan barely blows at my window but works just fine towards me and at my feet.

Leslie Lumpkin not at all. That would be a separate issue.
Please, guys, that is a transistor, a power transistor that is doing the job of a relay.
