2007 FWD S80 3.2 Won't Start/No Crank

Driving my son's 2007 S80 around doing errands and after a stop it refused to start. It did not even turn over. A frantic call to my wife bought some assistance. I checked voltage to battery and it read 12+. A rudimentary diagnostic device said the starter relay was working. I'm guessing starter at ...

Re: What did you do to your P5 Volvo today?

My wife told me that our 22 XC90 has a leaky tire valve stem. Though maybe it was just the valve that needed tightening. But on further investigation realize that the rubber valve tube had become unglued from the brass valve stem housing! The brass part flew out as I wiggle it and hit me in the ...

Re: 2007 S80 "Door Ajar" displayed

Installed a used driver's door lock actuator last night (and this f**ing morning). I did not have fun at all. The used part had some broken stuff on it which was fix with parts from original lock assembly. Everything is back together but when putting door panel on I broke a couple of clips and ...

Re: 2007 S80 "Door Ajar" displayed

This morning I use a basic diagnostic scanner to assess the problem with the door lock. I gave me a general driver door window error non-specific. I was able to actuate the driver door lock. It did NOT always lock and unlock. Basically the same as first reported in this thread. I sprayed contact ...

Re: 2007 S80 "Door Ajar" displayed

Well I thought we had it fixed! I examined the door harness connection and wires. Surprising the wires are in excellent shape! We did notice the the connector that sits in the door was not seated properly. We fixed that but we have the door ajar alert still.

Note: this connector is interesting ...

Re: 2007 S80 "Door Ajar" displayed

I'll take a look at the wiring. Found a good video online showing this exact inspection. Both cars in the video did have missing insulation which was repaired with electrical tape. Thanks.

2007 S80 "Door Ajar" displayed

Going down the rabbit hole on this...could use someone with experience with this issue.

1. Initially was alerted to a problem when car alarm went off randomly this winter a couple times.

2. Presently the dash display will show the "Driver's Door Ajar" alert with the red triangle icon randomly ...

Re: Volvo S80 2007 Headlight lens replacement

My limited research on this stated that the oven method doesn't work on this glue for the Volvo S80 2007. Be interested in hearing others that have used the oven method for these early Volvo's.

Volvo S80 2007 Headlight lens replacement

I'm in the process of replacing the fogged and scratched plastic headlight lenses on my 2007 S80 and thought I'd share what I've learned!

I viewed some online videos about this process and tried two different techniques; first technique involved the one I found online which uses a Dremel tool to ...

Volvo S80 Headlight wiring harness replacement

Why is this so hard. I need to replace the wiring harnesses on both front halogen headlights of my 2007 S80. I can find a harness repair kit # 30763979 and a 30763980. Neither part description states whether it is for the left or right. Anyone done this and can confirm these are the part #s I need ...
