V60 Sensor Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Volvo V60 diesel is experiencing multiple issues, including a fog sensor error, non-functional air conditioning, frozen spray nozzles, and non-working mirror heating. These problems suggest a potential cable or plug connection issue with the fog sensor. A similar case involved a faulty humidity sensor causing a cascade of related system failures. The recommended solution is to have a workshop check the connections and possibly replace the faulty sensor to resolve the issues efficiently.

Not quite a Christmas tree, but definitely more lights than usual! So, your V60 had similar symptoms – air con, mirror heating, etc. – all linked to one sensor? What exactly was it on your car?

Yes, exactly. The root cause was a faulty humidity sensor. It cascades downwards, and if the sensor reads incorrectly, then the whole system shuts down for protection. The entire network interprets it as an error. In my opinion, go to the workshop. I would say that they should check the connections first, and then replace the unit. It is the fastest and easiest way.

Thanks! Humidity sensor makes sense. I'll mention that when I take it in. I appreciate the help!

Interesting. I had a somewhat similar electrical gremlin in my V60. It wasn't exactly the fog sensor, but it was like one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch of related systems. Is your dashboard lighting up like a Christmas tree with warnings?
