Blower fan motor doesn't work
Hello everyone. Bought a car with blower fan problem, it doesn't work. All what I could do so far is just checking a fuse and if there is 12v when blower is switched on. That's allright.
Also tought to remove it and try to connect a motor straight to the battery to see if it's broken, and there is the main problem. I've seen how people replace that motor on EU cars, they just disassembly boot and remove the motor with fan. Not easy but possible. Tought to do the same and found out that it's impossible on UK cars because there is no acces to the motor from boot side. I could just see it little bit and that's it. Tried to remove some plastic and carpet on drivers side, there is no access at all. Do I have to remover all central and main dash to pull out that motor?? Thank you! Volvo s40 2012 1.6 diesel |

Hi,
we've done a few of these and yes,they are a bad job,you have to get access from the passenger side,remove all the fixings for the fan then from the drivers side you turn the fan anti-clockwise slightly at which point it can be pulled out from the passenger side.Re-locating it can be a pain but you do need to make sure you get it located properly or you are starting it all from scratch again.Don't attempt to do the job in an evening if you have to use the car to go to work the following morning as the job will bring forth enough swearing on it's own without adding further pressure! Good luck. |

Thank you for advice!
Before removing everything I'm going to order an used blower motor but I'm not sure about part number. Ebay sellers recomend me to see part number on my motor but I don't really want to remove dash twice, or remove and wait for delivery. Anybody knows what part number is on S40 2012 1.6 D2? |

No, the handle tool helps the twisting and withdrawal of the motor and more importantly the fitting of it properly , You don't need to get the dash out, i have "managed" by taking out the glovebox, CEM and struggling under the dash . you need to get the r/h side dismantled too to get the connector off and a locking screw for the motor housing . So nothing lost if you do get the dash out . , again there are tools for this a very long screw you fit to each side of the dash mounting holes which allows the dash to slide right back and stay in place whilst you take the motor out from the top .

Long time ago I tried to do it. I removed top dash, central dash, waterfall, glove box and drivers side covers but couldn't get any acces to it. Now I think about to boy fan removing tool but not sure if it fits to S40 V50 C30 because is not it the suitable list. Can I use 6959 removing tool for S40?? |
