Heater Blower Fan Motor

There were multiple design iterations for the heater blower motor of the 700/900 series cars. These changes were designed to address problems with water accumulation in the blower motor and Volvo's increasing desire to present this model as luxurious. Due to the age of the vehicles on the road today it is impossible to know which version of the blower motor is currently installed.

Early original cars had a simple motor with a single positive wire terminal and case ground. This was mounted to the heater box using five small screws and there was an air vent hose to the bottom of the motor which caused some very early failures. This motor is available under IPD 102168.

Later cars used an unvented two wire rubber isolated three post design which required some modification to install. These modifications were intended to address the failure points. The kit listed on this page is all that is required to "update" an early original car to later specification.

Be aware that if your motor is failing due to water/rust problems then you need to fix the problem in your intake cowl that is allowing water to accumulate in your heater box. 

Potential Product Fitment Issues
