It could be the switch has gone bad. Also sounds like it might just need a software download to re-initialize the module. That might wake it back up. I'd give that a try or at least get it diagnosed, the switch is not cheap.

I know this is very late for a post but I figured many people on here have this question. The answer is yes it is very common and no it won't be covered under the factory warranty, not for your 05 at least as it is out of warranty. If you had an extended warranty that may be covered, but each is dif...

Part number is 8111302, which is for a factory reman unit from Volvo. It sells for $246.88 but I would need you to send me back the old one or you would pay a core charge. Freight would be about $25-30 for USPS to BC.

Hi All! I just posted on this topic in a different thread. Pretty much Volvo screwed up the replacement steering rack parts for all the early S80's. You MUST change out the pressure and return lines along with the steering knuckle when changing out the rack. They FUBAR'D it royally. You also need to...

I'm late to this post but I'm comfused as to what you are doing? There is no "cylinder" like I think some posters on here are imagining. The keys for these cars are just a plastic tip on the remote that you insert in the SCU or "starter control unit" to start the car. There is NO...

The previous poster is right on. The 5 cyl 2WD XC90 is the least expensive version to maintain. The trans is an AW, very similar to what is in the V70/S60 5 cyls. Unless you really need AWD, do not go for it, it will only be more to repair in the future. That is of course assuming you dont live in s...

Nice repair! Hopefully it holds up as those racks are a pain to change out when they completely go kaput. It requires you to change out the rack, the pressure and return lines along with the steering knuckle. Well over $1400 in parts alone. Volvo really messed up the replacement steering rack parts ...

You can get a whole new lock kit for the car if you want, or order keys for the existing locks. Depedning on how they stole the car there could be electrical issues you don't see yet. I'd have it checked out before you buy it, just to make sure there was not other damage done during the theft.

That is exactly right. It is not cheap, they are worth their weight in gold just about. Some people get very angry when the service advisor tells them it will take 1 hour of labor to download the software. One customer says "you mean to tell me that you are charging me the same hourly rate to p...

Hi All! This car is not a USA spec Volvo so the info I have might not apply here. There is no ETM on 00-04 S/V40's, they have a mechanical throttle body. The idle issue is mostly likely caused by, you guessed it, the idle air control valve which is very common. There is a fuel pressure regulator tha...
