Noticing the Volvo fonts on your 1999 v70 and 1999 S70 are different. On one letter

Finally putting your summer tires on, in September

A scene from Ford vs. Ferrai

Most likely the SWM (Steering Wheel Module) it has the steering column stalks sticking out of it (Turn Signal, Wipers .. ect). About $16.00 at a PNP and 1/2 hour of labor to change it when you know what you are doing. Figure an hour the first time through. You will need to disconnect the battery and...

They all do that, Ma’am.

They all do that, Ma’am. 😀😀 I pulled our Odyssey's apart and clean it as it was making a relay under the dash click rapidly. From intermittent to full on clicking all the time so my wife wouldn't drive it. Drove me crazy after awhile also so tackled it. No steering wheel removal so it wasn't so bad...
