Re: 1998 S70 - What is this seal that just fell on my head?

God, I'm losing it. I asked about this 4 years ago in this thread:

I can't see where it would possibly go. Any chance you could send a pic?

1998 S70 - What is this seal that just fell on my head?

Hello all,

I opened my sunroof the other day and a 2 foot section of weather strip fell on my head. I almost ran off the road thinking it was a snake or something. It looks like a window wiper and it MIGHT have come from the sun shade somewhere. Does anyone know what it is and how to reattach it ...

Re: 1998 S70 Auto HVAC is going crazy, suddenly blows full hot

After a run to the Pick-a-part for a few door lock mechanisms, I now have 2 ECC controllers. One is the 9134784 and the other is the 9171595. Both were pulled from 1998's.

How does one test that they are actually functional?

Re: 1998 S70 Auto HVAC is going crazy, suddenly blows full hot

So I was at a pull-a-part yard and they had a 1998 S70 with ECC so I pulled it. The sticker on the box shows 9134784. @V50M66, you said I need to look for 9171595, is the 9134784 not compatible?

Re: Need Rear passenger door lock actuator

To circle back on this, I can confirm that the "red tab" has failed. I didn't even realize that was a thing, I assumed it was all motor related, but there are two failure points:

Electrical - Thermal fuse on original motor goes bad and must be bypassed, or motor is replaced. This is fixable for ...

Need Rear passenger door lock actuator

Hello all,

I replaced all 4 door lock actuator motors a month ago, and it went great... until yesterday when my son was opening the back door at the same time I was unlocking it. I heard clunk and now it won't unlock. It locks fine, but won't unlock. This time its not the motor, that's still ...

Re: 1998 S70 Auto HVAC is going crazy, suddenly blows full hot

OK, so I bought a new BT OBD2 reader because mine wouldn't pull live data. I have it now and I'm getting some off readings on the EC report. Screenshot_20230914_182830_850 OBD-II.jpg

The AC button shows off, but it was on.

Engine temp is showing 76.71 degrees, but it was at full temp (showed ...

Re: 1998 S70 Auto HVAC is going crazy, suddenly blows full hot


Get the 850 OBD2 app and a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 dongle and view live data for the ECC parameters. You should see pretty quickly what’s wrong. You can also try a new sun sensor, as well as a new ECC unit if you want to throw parts at it. I have both if you decide you want to try it, shoot me a PM ...
