Power window switches on my 850 and advice on buying a 99 V70 turbo. 850

Hi, I have a 1994 850 wagon. The power window switch on the passenger side
is not working. Is each of the 4 windows a separate switch? How would I gain
access to the switch to replace it?

Thanks,

Ps on a side note my 850 is getting a little tired. I am thinking of
a 1999 turbo V70. I am aware of the issues with the 850 . Does the
V70 for 99 has similiar or additional issues.

I spray WD40 around the switch without opening it and it worked for me.

In regards to a 99 V70. Isn't that the first year of throttle by wire which breaks every 50K miles and costs $1200 to replace? Your 850 must be a GLT. The V70 has 3 engine types, N/A with about 150bhp, light pressure turbo with 198bhp and T6 with 250bhp. Be careful which "turbo" you look at.
The V70 has just as many problems as your 850, except the tranny is better. The V70 has better window switches, but they cannot be repaired.

No T6 in the V70 series. T5, YES!

You could buy the entire switch pack, and replace it....

or you could try a project of your own... the next link shows how it can be done....

Take a look at this site...

http://au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/window-switch-recon.html

It's an entire article about reconditioning the window switches.

Good luck
