    Hey gang, I have a quick question. Does anyone know how to turn on the air conditioning in a 2006 Volvo? Is there a way to keep it running all night without turning the key and leaving the engine going? We have tried to turn on the sensors in the bunk. The fan button's light above it is red. We hit the sleeper button for the cab on the main dash, which does kick it on. But, we can't get it to run without keeping the key turned....which, we are afraid, will drain the battery. This vehicle is new to us (first day in it), and we have never run a Volvo. Little help?? We don't see a tripac on this bird...

    The A/C Compressor will not work (which means no A/C) unless the Truck Engine is running.

    If the key is on, but the engine is off, you're just running the blower fan........no A/C unless the engine is running.

    If you're truck doesn't have a APU, to get A/C you must turn on the truck's engine.

    That is what we figured, unfortunately....but had hopes for otherwise. Thanks, though...
