When the control module was replaced did you have software reloaded again? If not then you need to go t Volvo or an independent Volvo shop to have the software loaded tothe new module. Also another problem you can have is a bad blower motor resistor.

We tried a used control module. Would it need software re-loading? Closer look shows fan does respond to temp diff. If I set desired temp equal to temp display value, fan goes to low, so maybe I can live with that. Would the fan resistor still be a possible? Thank youso much for a quick reply, Charlie Farrell

If it is a used module then no you would not need software.
