- 2011 Volvo XC 90
OK. Our 2011 XC90 is my first Volvo. It's a real creampuff so far and we love it. My wife found it online at a Houston dealer and it had less than 70K miles on it.
ANYWAY... Here's my issues. About once every other month or so, the battery will be completely dead. I know the alternator is charging as, as soon as we jump start it, it's good to go for another month or so. I've had the battery tested, and it's good. I fired up the video recorder on my phone and threw it in the glove box, so I know the glovebox light isn't staying on.
Here's another gremlin it's got. Occasionally, I will go out in the garage, like 2 hours after its been driven. Everything is off, and has been off for hours, but for some reason, the blower motor is running. I just have to put the key in, and move the switch (without starting the engine) and the blower shuts off.
1. Is this normal on a Volvo? (if so, WHY?)
2. Is this likely the cause of my sporadic batter drain? (I'm thinkng it is)
3. Can I do anything about it?
Thanks!
