Cabin temperature failure maybe?

[Phil Croxley]

Has anyone come across this before? I've noticed lately how my AC doesn't seem to regulate itself. The fan seems to keep blowing, whereas it usually decreases when it reaches the correct cabin temperature. So I'm guessing there's a sensor that may be kaput. If so, does anyone know where to locate it, and is it fairly common for them to go?
Thanks

Vacuum out the sensor first, it draws air, and with it fluff in, and can self-insulate.

Good point, I didn't think of that! Any idea where it hides?

In the XC70 it's 3 small horizontal slits under the little silver man a/c airflow control, I guess yours will be identical

It is, so obvious now! I'll give it a vacuum over the weekend and see what happens.
