2000 S70 Front Fog Lights Don't Work

The front fog lights don't work on my 2000 S70.

I have checked:
1) Both bulbs are good. Filaments are intact
2) Headlights work
3) Green indicator light on Fog Light Switch on Dash works
4) Fuse #17 (Fog Lights) is good

I haven't checked:
1) Voltage at the bulb sockets
2) Listened for "click" of ...

Re: 2000 S70 Only One Horn Works

All the same switch and there are no relays. If the horns test good individually then the problem must be in the wiring harness or, more likely, one of the connectors.

Lee, you were right on. I pulled out the cabling. It looks like vibration had rubbed off the wire loom protecting the ...

2000 S70 Only One Horn Works

Does the S70/850 have individual relays for each of the two horns in front of the radiator?

Symptom: Only the driver's side horn works when I press the buttons on the steering wheel. The passenger side horn does not make a sound.

Troubleshooting: I swapped horns to see if the horn itself is bad ...

Re: Front Suspension - putting together parts list

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread...

It is safe to re-use the lock nuts and use some Loctite?

I am thinking about re-using nuts #43, #23 and #1 in the diagram.

I am also thinking about re-using the lock nuts that attach the sway bar end links.

Or should they all be replaced (ie only used ...

Thank you for sharing this repair with us!

I am just about to embark on this repair with my SMI rack. I'll try to remember to take pictures and document (in case the SMI rack has significant differences).

Re: Inner and Outer Tierod End replacement tutorial

You can buy them from IPD or eEuroparts or just search the "part number"+ "Volvo" on google and you will find it.

Thanks for the tip. I actually just found Lemforders on Amazon.

Re: 98 v70 awd control arm replace and tie rod issue

How did you end up getting the driver's side loose if your sockets and breaker bar didn't fit?

Re: S70 Front Suspension Check

Sounds good, Lee.

I went ahead and ordered a set of Moog Innter and Outer tie-rods. I went to with Lemforder for the rubber boots/bellows.

I ended up going Lemforder with the Sway Bar Link rather than Moog. 1) the Moog part was almost twice the price of the Lemforder. 2) while it appears that the ...
