SOURCE: the motor shakes in my 960 volvo sedan why could

A shaking engine usually is an indicator of an engine missfire. Secondary ignition components are the most common failure (Spark plugs, plug wires, etc..). Less likely, but still a consideration are the fuel system components such as the fuel injectors or filter. Further down the list with a vibration in gear at idle are bad engine mounts. If it worsens with engine load such as acceleration then it is likely the ignition system.
Good luck

2007 Volvo S60 fan is not workingcooling & heating fan
I would check for voltage at the blower motor, when fan speed is at max with heater on. If no voltage is present, I would suspect the MCC (manual climate control) module.

Generally when the power module becomes defective, the motor runs full speed. They are normally changed in pair because a bad motor drawing too much current can ruined the power module.

I suspect you have a bad blower motor, but it could also be your blower motor resistor. Having them tested is your only solution to find the problem.

Volvo heater fan
The cooling and heating systems in this car have self diagnosis and blink the two lights in the lower right corner if there is a fault. Are these blinking? If so what pattern. I am going to assume you have checked the fuse. If that is good you may need to take the motor out and test that. This take a Torx driver. 6 of these takes the glove box insert out and then 3 more take the motor out it is a tight squeeze but after a while you'll get it (no real tips on how to it takes some time) then you can test this with a battery charger or other 12 source. If the fan works here then there is a fault in the wiring or in the switch-box itself.

1995 850 blower moter only works for a min. then shuts off, if you re start car same thing?
that is very very vague. please check with a test light if the power is being interrupted after a min. or if blower motor is getting hot, drawing in to much amps and stopping. if getting hot or drawing in too much amps it is internal short. buy new blower motor. if power to motor is being shut off. maybe has a self reseting fuse and is being tripped by short in wire somewhere. good luck

I have a 2001 Volvo s80 2.8 turbo i replaced the cooling fan thiking its the fan motor put still won't turn on can u please help? Milton.
Which fan motor do you want to repair, the one inside the car for climate control or outside for engine cooling next to radiator? Inside locate fan please note some libraries have repair manuals that you can check with them for free you usually can go and find at least the location this way. Check fuse location and electrically check BOTH SIDES of the fuse with a digital volt meter not a test light some circuits in newer computer control vehicles can be damaged by test lights. Once you find the fan (inside) it also has a resister pack usually somewhere on the a/c heater assembly, check for voltage at the input of the motor AND the ground side also remember electricity needs a complete circuit.
If outside cooling motor look for a fuse box outside in the engine compartment and check that also inspect the wiring connections in line for melting usually at the motor this is a tell tale sign that the motor is using too much current. Also there needs to be a temperature switch in the cooling system sometimes in the radiator or in the engine/block/head. watch the color code of the wire from motor trace back usually to a relay or two speed resister block. Also some cars have a secondary fan for the A/C condenser I assume you don't mean this one.

I'm currently interested in a 1996 volvo 960; without having much volvo knowledge, what do you suggest I investigate and or what type of repairs are common after 140000 miles on the car
Does the current owner of the vehicle have well kept service records? If he does, ask him if the timing belt was changed on this car. And ask him to show you the service records. The timing belt should have already been replaced, but if not, you will need to replace it immediately. Along with water pump, seals, and balance shaft belt. If the vehicle has an interference motor, and the timing belt breaks going down the road, it has the potential to ruin the motor. The timing belt on a Volvo is not for the beginner, and most shops will not even touch it. Tech will need special tools to lock down the cams, or risk even bigger issues. Also, do a visual inspection, paying close attention to the undercarriage, looking for oil leaks. Volvo's are great cars, but the routine maintenance can be costly.

I have a 1994 Volvo 960 and the arrow is flashing on the dash plus the W,S,E buttons are blinking and the car won't start now. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
The lights indicate a problem with the transmission. The fact that the engine wont start, leads me to believe that the PNP (neutral safety switch) is the problem. You will have to have the vehicle scanned to make sure.

Heater fan dont work all the time on my 94 volvo 960
After some years, the the filters (made of foam) in the HVAC system can become dry-rotted. Debris from the rotted foam, as well as dust, can accumulate in various places within the system. Unfortunately, the motor housing of the blower is one place in which the dust and debris accumulate very well. To fix the problem, you have to remove the cover from the blower, and vacuum clean it. The blower is behind the glove box, on the lower right side.

A word of caution: The fan cage (which looks like a gerbil wheel) can become brittle, over the years. After cleaning out the blower motor, the blower will be able to freely spin at full speed, again. This may be too much for an old brittle fan. If your old blower can't take the force of spinning at full speed, you will hear it break apart inside its chamber. I discovered this, the hard way. After cleaning the dust and debris from my Volvo's blower motor, the blower spun at full speed and the fan broke apart. So, I had to buy and install a whole new blower.

I have a 1996 volvo 960 and the check engine light is on. when driving, it flashes then stops then flashes again until I get up to around 60 mph.
Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with one of the components or sensors it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and you need to diagnosed and repaired it. The list of possible codes number in the hundreds. The code itself doesn't tell exactly what component is defective - it only indicates where to look, or what engine parameter is out of normal range. You or a technician will have to perform further testing to pinpoint cause and the proper repair. The light flashing when you are driving indicates a more serious problem that should be fix right away or more problems can occur.
