Replying to: uniquemicro (Oct 20, 2005 12:09 pm) i have exsackly the same problem the car was connected to a diagnostic computer and two sensors were changed which made no difference although the lights do go out sometimes the garage said they needed to upgrade the software on the dignotick equipment did you ever solve the problem.
#12 of 40 still looking for the problem by uzziah0 Oct 24, 2005 (1:50 pm)
Our local Volvo service center is still driving our car; over 2 weeks now, to capture the events that are causing our electrical problems. They have a computer connected (probably through the console) to monitor what is happening and hopefully determine what is wrong. They said they are driving for parts, or trips to other dealers in the area.
#13 of 40 Climate control electrical isse by v70pain Mar 03, 2006 (3:05 pm)
I have v70 T5 - took car infor 65K service. Dealer found issue with turbo gasket and mass air flow sensor unit. Serivce call was $1100. When I picked up my car,the climate control was 'dead' - (ie., as if the car wasturned off). Dealer said 'That's Odd' - took it back in the shop, came out 30 min later and said that the climate control panel board is shot and that it will be 1000 to fix. This seems crazy to me - I have read that when you disconnect the battery to service the car that sometimes electrical components don't work correctly (need to boot up under the right sequence) -- Anybody have any ideas?? There is no way the car climate control just happened to fry at the same time it was being serviced on. Dealer is trying to tell me that it is just an odd coincidence?? Any help greatly appreciated.

Replying to: v70pain (Mar 03, 2006 3:05 pm) Don't believe in coincidences. I have had three mass flow sensors on my 99 with no 'frying' happening.
#15 of 40 Seat Heater Pad by cdnfool Jun 20, 2006 (1:21 pm)
I had a short in the seat heater for our 2001 V70 T5 that caused a small fire (or at least smoke) before I could figure out where the smell was coming from. It burned a hole in the heater pad and the leather.   I am just out of warranty (6 months) and the cost to replace the heater is $300 and the seat cover $1000. Has this happened to anyone? I saw a bulletin for an older model where there was a recall but nothing for this generation of wagon. Replies to this message: akandrews (Jun 16, 2008 5:58 am)
#16 of 40 Headlight cracked! by olydawg Aug 19, 2006 (10:55 am)
I have a cracked headlight on a 2001 V70. Does anyone know about the assembly? Do I have to replace the whole unit or is there a cover? The light works fine, so it is a cosmetic issue. I think the part is about $350 w/o labor. I have seen it discounted elsewhere. Basically, I want to fix the crack for the least amount of $. Thanks.

Replying to: olydawg (Aug 19, 2006 10:55 am) The outside component of the headlight is just a clear glass cover. I recently had my left headlight on my 01 V70 replaced, but luckily I was able to take it to an awsome independent who told me I may have gotten the dealer to replace the whole thing, when all that was needed was a new bulb. The bulb was still pretty expensive for a headlight, but the mechanic showed how both the headlight and turnsignal lights were simply inserted behind the glass cowls. I'm not sure how much the glass portion costs, but it is a DIY job regardless: a couple screws loose and the cowling comes unhinged. Replace and screw back together.
#18 of 40 back window switch by clarkkent Aug 30, 2006 (6:14 pm)
I can't get the back windows to work. When I hit the switch I can hear a click under the dash. With or without the child lock led light on I hear the click and the windows will not work.   Any ideas?   Thanks, CK Replies to this message: jomoto (Aug 31, 2006 7:03 am)

#20 of 40 bulb failure message by hkiernan Nov 03, 2006 (9:14 am)
I have a 2001 v70 and just got a message "bulb failure dipped beam" Can this be fixed by replacing the bulb which isn't working? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Nov 03, 2006 9:41 am)
