Man you just saved my life because my Volvo is having the same problem and thanks to your video I am able to stay dry. As you said that module is still in back order 😒😒😒😒😒
My Volvo (and Freightliner) trick: do you enjoy AC, a full night's sleep, and a truck that doesn't wake you up every 10 minutes? All that starting and stopping the engine? Volvo calls it "Idle smart" but it ought to be renamed "my boss is too cheap to buy APU's so I get woken up all night" button. To pull off the trick, you the truck in gear, creep forward, and then pull ONLY the red knob (which puts on the trailer brakes), while simultaneously shifting to neutral. This fools the truck into not shutting down after prolonged idling. This gets around pulling the Yellow knob. Pulling the yellow knob will activate a timer that cuts you off from prolonged idling. But, Prolonged idling is a necessity if you don't want to have a heat stroke sitting in a metal & glass box in full summer. With Freightliner, an alarm goes off if you exit via the driver's door without the yellow tractor brakes engaged, but it’s only a buzzer if you exit via the other door. The Volvo has only a small warning to engage the tractor brake. Of course, none of this red-knob trailer brake trick works if you're bobtailing and have no trailer to immobilize your truck. Lemme know if this trick works for you let me know. Maybe we can advocate that APU's (air conditioners) be mandatory, along with Carbon Monoxide detectors. After all, those are mandated in Section 8 housing, so why not in the places we sleep?

You got ripped off. They charged you that for installation. I bought one of those mirror covers for $85 and put it on myself for free. Took 2 minutes.
I'm sure, they rip us off for everything
👍
Thanks for watching and your loyalty.
