Re: 2003 V70 High Beams will not stay on

Holy crap......I chased down a low beam short for so long on this car that I recently bought, that I didn't see the forest through the trees when I finally fixed it. The headlight switch was in the off position (horizontal).......Thanks JRL and Vovo_merz for waking me up and not taking advantage of ...

2003 V70 High Beams will not stay on

Need some help. I have a 2003 Volvo V70 and have a problem with the high beams staying on after actuating the level. I pull it towards me, the high beams come on and the indicator is illuminated on the dashboard. When I release the lever as you normally do, the high beams go out. No way to get them ...

2002 V70 PO455 Cracked J-hose near tank

Throwing a po455 on my 2002 V70. Found a cracked hose where it connects to the evap canister behind/above fuel tank. Get it off, but can't get it back on after cutting off bad part. I swear your hands need to be the size of an infants to fit in there. Are there any tricks to doing this? Also I can't ...

Re: 00 V70 Changed seat w/ 98 SRS light on, no connector

Excellent. Thanks again Mike. I'll stop at Radio Shack tonight to see if they have the 2.2 ohm 10 watt resistors. My buddy thinks his Snap On scanner can reset the SRS once I get the parts in. I did find a used panel with the switches, that was an easy swap as you said. Volvo made the old one with ...

Re: 00 V70 Changed seat w/ 98 SRS light on, no connector

Mike,
Thanks for the helpful reply. I stared at the seat belt receivers before I put this seat in and thought about swapping them since the 00 wire was only on with tie-wraps and went right to the connector.....should have gone with my gut and done it. The wire on the 98 made me rethink it. oops. I ...

00 V70 Changed seat w/ 98 SRS light on, no connector

I have a self induced problem with the SRS light being on. I switched out my driver's side seat yesterday with one that wasn't hammered from 316K miles of driving and also the replacement had heated seats, my 2000 V70 did not originally. The donor seat came out of a 1998 V70 and there were 2 ...

Re: Power Seat Doesn't Go Back Far Enough

Is resetting the motor cable something I can do myself? I'm not overly familiar with that part of the car.

Power Seat Doesn't Go Back Far Enough

I have 2000 V70 I just picked up. It's identical to my current V70. The problem is the new one's power driver's seat doesn't go back far enough compared to my other one. I feel like I'm on top of the wheel. I'd say it's a good 3 inches short in travel distance. Has anyone seen this problem or know ...

Re: V70 Brake issue - shaking

Since I replaced everything including the tie rods, I disconnected the ABS control module and the problem has seemed to go away. I've driven over 100 miles without a repeat (of course I have no abs or speedometer or odometer using a GPS to monitor speed). Anybody replace an ABS module before? I'm ...
