The lights flashing are telling you that the control unit has found a problem with something in the climate control system. Most likely is the motor has started to draw too much current for the applied voltage. The control unit monitors this to protect the fan controller in the event of motor failure. If this is your problem replacing the fan motor should cure it. However, to be sure you should have the codes read, which requires a special, Volvo specific tool for your car.
Thanks I will have to go to the dealer to have the codes read. Do you have any idea what the motor would cost to install at a dealer..
thanks Mike I will have the dealer read codes. By the way do you have any idea what they charge these days at volvo for the motor being diagnosed and replaced.
Sorry, no idea.
