Heater Control panel removal - 2005 V70

Could someone give me an idea how to get this out, need to check connection at the back of the unit as it's playing up at the minute.
thanks in advance

you start at the bottom of the console and work your way up .

whatever you do, dont turn the ignition on with anything unplugged- you will get loads of faults stored and warning lights .

By playing up, do you mean not working right and theres a flashing light in the front?

If so, get a strong vacuum cleaner and give the little vent on the front a good seeing-to.

you may remember a video i posted a while back of the module flashing every now and again.

well it's happening more 'now' than 'again' nowadays.
Tried cleaning the cabin air temp sensor which appeared to cure it but it didn't. Tried the Check DTC trick whilst it was flashing and it showed 'CCM not checked' which i'm assuming means it can't communicate to the module.
Just want to check the module for piece of mind.
Volvo say it's faulty, just waiting for the price of a replacement. look on fleebay for second hand ones to try and swap but i believe 2004- are canbus?? so would need software? also, not seen one with the same specifications, it has: FourC, folding Mirrors, DSTC, Alarm sensors, Parking Sensors

all of the p2 cars are canbus - s60/S80/v70 .

in 1999 on the s80 the system was way ahead of everybody else.
wiring loom on a ph1 v70 80kg, wiring loom on s80 30kg i believe.

Aaaah, I wasn't sure if it was you last time lol.

You can try unplugging it for a while, sometimes it can sort minor faults.

U sorted this out now mate?

[jdavis]

No. Will have access to a dice soon so going to plug it in and see exactly what it says
