Re: Volvo S70 Abs And Traction Control Light On

VolvoXC70, not sure if your model has the same issue as my 99 C70, but mine had the same thing and it is caused by faulty solder joints on the circuit board of the ABS control unit. There is a temp fix to wedge something near the connector, I'll try and find the link or you can search for it on ...

Re: Just picked up a 02 C70 Convert w/31k

I think the switch for the all windows button is bad, does anyone know if 99 and 02 use the same door window switches? If so I can test with mine.

Checked all ...

Re: Headlight issues on 2001 S80 T6

Hi, new to the S80 forum, I had a s40 but my wife crashed it and it was totaled :( Good news is we got a great 2001 S80. Anyways, look at the link, I had the same problem with my s40, I am thinking it is probably the CEM, but no idea were it is on the s80.

Re: Terrible Heat

Well, the saga is finally over, the CEL turned itself off after driving about 150 miles. Glad it was just the thermostat, and I have to say it is easiest thermostat change I have done, not that they are hard unless just a PITB.

Re: s40 volvo yr 2000 sometimes car not starting

Also look at the CEM, a lot of stuff runs through it and when it goes bad it can cause all kind of problems (both intermittent and persistent)
