#21 of 40 Re: bulb failure message [hkiernan] by pf_flyer HOST Nov 03, 2006 (9:41 am)
Replying to: hkiernan (Nov 03, 2006 9:14 am) I did some net wandering and I don't think replacing the bulb is going to do the trick. From what I'm reading there's likely a burned resistor/shunt in CEM (Central Electronic Module)
#22 of 40 Another Light Bulb out!! by therasmus Nov 10, 2006 (7:52 am)
I have a 2004 V70 with 57K on it, i am currently into the 5th bulb, three days ago (i refuse to change another as my hands are too big and i always mess up the headlight centering). Now this morning after a cool (38F) night the car would not start and indicated "engine is not prepared to start" I also notice that the front pass/driver seats were in the far back tilt position. Questions: 1)electrical problem 2) Is there a recall that my dealer does not know about 3)or i am crazy?   I live in Europe but the car is US Specs. I just had the 52K tune up 4 Oct and everything checked OK.
#23 of 40 Oh i Forgot to ask!!!! by therasmus Nov 10, 2006 (7:57 am)
Could the reason be the car did not start because the battery is low in the key. I understand the car has a disabler( dead switch) capability if you use the wrong key?
#24 of 40 2004 V70 "bulb failure adjust lights" by msalas1313 Mar 10, 2008 (5:25 am)
My 2004 V70 (47K miles) has been having bulb failures for about a year or so. On occassion the warning light will come on - even though all bulbs seem to be working, especially in cool weather (around 30F). I have replaced both front bulbs twice, and many of the back lights are also on their second switch. Recently, I just replaced all back bulbs, and now already one is blown again (only 2 weeks later). When this bulb blew out, it took a headlight with it... I am begining to think that there is a bigger issue - than just a little lightbulb blowing out. I had a local repair shop look at it and they were clueless - thought it could be a system error. I have yet to find any recalls about the electronics issues - and would like to avoid the certainly hefty Volvo dealership repair. Can you provide any suggestions or help???

#25 of 40 DEAD V70 XC by gweezy May 06, 2008 (4:25 am)
My 99 v70 recently broke down mid drive. For a few days the TRAC light and ABS were cutting on and of. Then while i was driving the whole electical sysem shut down. The engine still ran for about half a mile till i was able to turn off the highway. When i tried to start it back up the interior lights went crazy and sounded like the battery was dead. I tried to jump it and the same thing happened. does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong? i was thinking the battery or alternator but if that was the case something should have happened when i tried to jump it off another truck. i'm hoping it's not something worse. Somebody please give me some good news!
#26 of 40 Re: Seat Heater Pad [cdnfool] by akandrews Jun 16, 2008 (5:58 am)
Replying to: cdnfool (Jun 20, 2006 1:21 pm) I had the same problem - drivers seat heater burned a hole through the seat cover and I felt my leg getting hot. Looked down and saw the smoke - wire burned hole about the size of a cigarette burn through the seat near my calf.   Never tried to fix it because I have spent a FORTUNE trying to keep this $40,000 car running. I HATE VOLVO. This has been the WORST car EVER
#28 of 40 V70 Tailgate Open message by soupyx Jun 25, 2008 (5:32 pm)
We just had our car ib the shop for transmission trouble and a day later, the "TAILGATE OPEN" message appears, thought the tailgate is closed. Anyone know of this being a common problem? Is it a sensor?
#29 of 40 V70 rear electronic module by tomb7 Sep 11, 2008 (6:41 pm)
I have a 2001 V-70 T-5 with only 79,000 miles; recently, the rear locks, hatch, gas door, rear wiper quit. I took it to a decent independent who told me the rear elec. module needed to be replaced and I'm looking at a hefty bill to do it..anyone hear of this problem?
