I own a 1998 S70 T5. Has anyone had this problem??? when the passenger door is
opened then closed the door lamp under the dash stays on, to get the lamp to turn off the door must be opened then closed multiple times (1-25+ times). Before I take the door panel apart has anyone had or fixed this problem???
I had diconected the lamp, but would rather fix the problem. Any hints?

rqb,

I had the same problem.

Remove the lock assembly from the door as indicated. But, don't do anything else.

Get some PB'laster and spray in and around the micro-switch on the latch. Then work the switch back and forth 20-25 times.

I did this to the switch on the LR door years ago and the problem has not returned.

Good luck,

Bryan

The courtesy light switch is integral with the door latch.

BAY 13 has a piece on the door latch: http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/v70latch1.htm

I think the Haynes manual has something about replacing the integral switch.

Good luck!
