Power Window Switch S70 1998

I had the Driver side Power window switch go out, with the window all of the way down. I by-passed the switch by jumping the window motor with a battery to roll the window up. I bought a new Switch Cluster and installed it only to find that the window will not go down. Is there a Relay or Fuse that might have blown when the switch went bad??

Power Window Switch S70 1998

I'll let you know how much the window switch cluster on a 98 S70 GLT runs. Mine's in the garage of an independent Volvo mechanic today having a stuck rear driver side window repaired. I hope it's a relay (I think :) I had the same problem over and over again on my 87 740T due to abrasion in the wiring harness that passed through the door. That was $150 for the harness X4 over the 13 year life of the car.

I have no idea about your problem other than I believe that all the windows will be on the same circut breaker. If you don't get an answer here, you could try Rich K at volvospeed.com

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that main switch cluster cost you? I have a 98 S70 as well and I noticed that the drivers "switch pack" was replaced under warranty at about 30,000 miles. In that case, the driver's rear did not function.

I had the same problem with mine a couple years back. I was out of town, window stuck down and many many many miles away from a Volvo dealer. What happend next you might ask... I drove it all the way home, in the rain! with the window down! so how did I fix it? I didn't. Went out to the car the following morning after I got home, started it, and the window went up. It has worked flawlessly ever since too. You could try checkin your fuse, but I doubt that is the problem (the fuse box is under the hood infront of the windsheild on the drivers side, in case you didnt know). Sorry I couldn't give much advice, but hey who knows - your window might be working again by the time you read this.
