Volvo: volvo s60, volvo s60, climate system

Question
I have a 2002 volvo s60. After the engine is shut off a fan will begin to run anywhere between 5-15 minutes after.  And it does not do it every time the engine is shut off. I bought it in May 2006 and it just started doing this the end of July. The air blows out the vents into the car. I'm not sure if it is the a/c fan or the motor fan. Is there a fan that runs after the engine is shut off to cool it down?


Answer
Hello! That is a feature called "afterblow". The interior fan will can sontimes run depending on how long the a/c has been on or ambient temperature. This is to dry out any condensation in the climate system. This a feature that can be re-programmed or turned off. Only a dealer or a Volvo shop will have the right tools to re-program it.
