Volvo XC90 P2 Blower Motor Replacement DIY (2003-2014 Volvo XC90 V8, T6, R-Design)

►The heater blower motor provides all the airflow from your vents. All automakers stick their blower motor somewhere in the dashboard, and Volvo made it theirs, easily accessible behind the glove box. That placement makes your replacement process straightforward. You should be looking for a replacement if your fan stops working, as it's a primarily self-contained unit. Without a functioning motor, your air conditioning, heating, and defrosting system won't function as intended, leaving you too hot or cold all the time.
Wrench along with FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er Mike Hidalgo as he replaces the blower motor in a P2 Volvo XC90.

Did you just make this video for me?😂 I just received the blower motor and resistor a couple days ago from you guys.

[@johnnyblue4799]

Good luck with the 5th bolt! :)

[@micahbayless]

Mine is still there. Seems to be the heavy rubber thing conforms pretty well to the unibody and there's just barely any space. I took apart the white cover of the resistor and one of the solder joints is a dark gray but no way am I going to just reheat the joint and expect all is well....

[@robusti82]

Another awesome Mike Hidalgo tutorial. Appreciate the honest commentary and real time problem solving.

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you!

[@dainiskrastins9202]

Thank you for video, helped me a lot! 👍🏻

[@jeanmartinverreault]

Great video. I would be real nervous to reassemble everything without checking if the blower still works. Imagine you had to deassemble cause the blower did not work! So much time lost.

[@Buntafujiwaratofushop]

Boy im glad i have a P80 volvo .... way easier to work on then those newer volvos

[@camillerichardson3298]

It actually wasn’t that hard. I did it on my mom’s 2011 xc90 before this video was posted. I’m an “intermediate” level mechanic with it comes to stuff like this lol.

[@jmecobb]

OMG! Can you make a video for the 2016 Volvo XC60!? The blower motor squeaks and it drives me crazy!

[@fcpeuro]

👍

[@edwilly1]

What’s the expected labor time for this? I just got quoted 8 hours so not sure if that’s accurate. Thanks & great video!

[@Marco-ys2gx]

Great Video Mike, just replaced both motor & resistor in my Wifes 2010 XC 90, it was definitely the problem as nothing worked at all, but with the fan on high the airflow doesn't seem to be there, any thoughts?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Marco, if you have not already, check out that cabin filter and make sure it is not clogged up!

[@Marco-ys2gx]

@@fcpeuro thanks Mike, I did replace the filter, it like there's an obstruction somewhere, took out the dash vents to check it's a bit of a mystery, not sure if there is any reset required?

[@jonthederahn91]

Question. 22 June 2024 Currently replacing the resister and blower motor on my 2005 Volvo XC 90. Can the new installed parts be turned on and tested prior to complete reassembly??

[@fcpeuro]

You could certainly test the blower once its plugged in to the vehicle before fitting it back into the HVAC housing it lives in!
