Re: new to me 1998 s70 and lots of problems
The Shift light may or may not be a transmission problem, you don't state the service history, it would help to know when the last trans drain and fill was performed. also when/if the timing belt was done.

Re: s70 readiness?
It has been 20 years since I lived in a state with emission testing, Sorry to ask a stupid question.... Is it now practice to just read the ODBII port? NO tail pipe testing?

Re: 1999 s70 electric gremlins
As expected, replaced the master control switch and all windows (including sunroof) work again.
Thanks everyone. Expensive part but easiest fix in the world.

Re: 1999 s70 electric gremlins
thank you, for your responses, I have confirmed the roof is also inop so that leads to the switch , I attempted the cleaning (great write up , btw), no luck. I will order a new part.
The switch was really in rough shape but I didn't want to assume that was the issue.
I will let you know if that ...

1999 s70 electric gremlins
Background: I wanted a Volvo so I purchased a 1998 s70 GLT a month an half ago, 30 days later it was totaled in a construction zone. I used the insurance money to buy another volvo. A 1999 s70 base with just 99,000 miles. I think I can be really happy with this car.
I have only owned the car a few ...
