How are you with a volt ohm meter? It's much faster to start diagnose with tests than by symptom.

Scour the web for a wiring diagram for model/year and market so we can point you to where to look for power.

I suspect a fuse or relay has taken out your climate system

...why is this common practice, throwing away an entire part when just a bushing is needed.

The sway-bar bushes on Volvo P80's are bonded to the bar or 'vulcanised'. Over the years the bond breaks down and the bush detaches from the bar itself.

The downside to poly bushes is they wear quickly if not lubricated regularly. If you see my earlier comments on IPD poly bushes then if I recall they suggested re-greasing every 6000 miles! Hence the reason for replacing with the Energy suspension bushes and clamps with the grease nipples.

It is possible, but I would suggest that if it is locking the swaybar so tightly, it may load up the sub-frame mounts and in particular the rears which are mounted right beside the sway bar mounts. May have no affect but as I have no experience of the use of locks I cannot answer from experience. Go...

The IPD front bars have stops welded onto them and are supplied with poly bushings. I have poly bushings on the R bars in the wife's 855. I've noticed a knocking sound that I've traced to the sway bar translating a bit in the bushings. I'm going to grab some 2-piece shaft clamp collars and install t...

Thanks for that link. Those are cheaper than the pieces I was just going to pick up from McMaster -Carr.

So, as a follow-up to this. I purchased a set of those collars linked above and installed them on the wife's car over the weekend. When we did the engine swap, I installed an "R" front bar with some poly bushings. Over the past couple of months I've noticed a rattle on the pass side from t...

On the v70 power to the ECC control unit comes direct from the AC relay In the kidney fuse box. It’s pin c5 on my 1999, use the wiring diagram for the 98 to ID the pin and trace back from there.

This is the hardest working device in the electrical system; it is energized from just before startup until the key is back in your pocket. Aside from an academic interest, spending many hours of bench time replacing caps and reflowing joints, then putting a 25 year old relay back in the car, doesn'...

I made an account to revive this thread. I encountered the same thing on my C70 and noticed it taking longer and longer before the ECC would would get power again and it would only last for about 10 minutes before losing power again. I ended up with the same solution of just buying another ECC unit ...
