Either get a replacement heater control module, or change the potentiometer. See here: http://www.30forty50.com/forum/topic..._1#entry130968

I have a spare heater control module, if you don't want to go down the DIY soldering way.

If this is the same problem - when I first got my 2004 S40 the fan was behaving erratically, so I bought some electrical contact cleaner, sprayed the potentiometer, and it's been perfect since...

Thank you Gatos, I was still in shock from the quote the Volvo dealership gave me when I found this post.
