Can anybody help me with an intermittent electric window problem I am having with my 98 S70, the electric windows stop operating from time to time, hence this has left me cold and wet a couple of times. I have taken the car to a Volvo dealer who told me that the main window switch on the drivers side door needed to be replaced, so $230.00 later I am still having the problem. Is anybody else having this same problem and if so how did they fix it ?
Many thanks
I was having that, would you believe the coned metal end of the plastic fuse had worn through (from occasional twirling to keep clean I guess, over possibly 25 years)?
There is a self resetting circuit breaker that protects both the windows and sunroof. Next time it happens see if the power sunroof also doesn't work. If the breaker is functioning as designed (i.e. you have the same problem with a new one) then there's a short somewhere in the wiring or switches.
Thanks for your help, I am assuming that you are refering to the circuit breaker that is located in the main fuse box in the engine compartment.
Yes, that's the one.
