Just a thought.... are you sure it's the blower motor? The resistor packs in the heater boxers fail far more regularly and give the same symptoms

Hi mate.
As steve says.
However if you find that it is deffinatly the motor,i have one.
Why not take your motor out and run it accross the battery.
That will tell you if it is working or not.
Cheers Mark.

Hi many thanks to Steve and Mark for your help and advice. I have done what you suggested and the blower motor works. I must appologise to you Mark as i have lost you a sale. Could i ask for your advice again please. Where are the resistors situated how are they fixed what do they look like and where can i get replacements. Your help would be much appreciated thank you. Cheers Robert

Hi Robert...

Glad to hear you're getting somewhere with sorting the problem. The resistor pack for the blower is located inside the heater box under the engine bay. You will have to take the whole black heater box out and seperate the two halves. It's held into the heater box with two screws and has 4 electric connections to it.

Try asking here or on Volvo 300 Mania, someone should come up with a good used spare. Unfortunately you can't buy them from Volvo anymore

Pretty much any heater resistor pack works electrically though. I've used mk2 golf ones before, from ECP new for 16 quid (or were).

You need to change the spades to bullets though, but it's not hard, and I'll happily talk you through it when I'm near a mk2 golf resistor again, or whatever else you happen to find!
