Hey thanks so much for the advice!! Still working on this and will report back when done :)


not that any one is deeply invested here after 7 years, but I did fix this a while back! I really love this forum and you guys are so nice to help!

The carpet was reaally toast. Days of bleaching and ...

you broke something in the switch or one of the 4 switches (3/37),
press it once and it sticks, press it again and it shorts out.

I'm pretty sure you can find a used one on ebay, then you either have to install it or pay a shop.
Its difficult to tell from the diagram, it might be integrated ...

the horn switch is in the steering wheel.
If its integrated into the airbag module clockspring it can get expensive, I'm seeing $180+ part and the steering wheel has to come off.
I would run my own wiring and a momentary button, $15 vs $500 in a shop, you probably only really need it to pass ...

Thanks for the replies :)

The carpet was just too molded from sitting for weeks in about 2 inches of water. It was soaked in bleach and left out in direct sun for days. So many attempts made to save the ...

I'm also looking for this info, and for the same reason.
I've already removed the 4 caps, as well as the windshield wiper blades and the nuts that secure them. However on each corner of the windscreen cowl there are two caps that pin the corners in. It doesn't look like they have the center pin to ...

Thanks so much MoVolvos and everyone!! Im trying this now and will update with results later so happy to know there options available cause the places i called didnt want to touch this, lol.

You guys are the best. I called the dealer and some nice guy told me the junkyard one is A981 is "Oak Arena Leather" just from the VIN!

So in USA "Oak Arena Leather" = A981 = Light Taupe

Hi everyone,
My 2004 V70 flooded real bad a couple months ago, thanks to the infamous passenger footwell leak problem. The entire interior carpet was SOAKED since the car sat outside during a thunderstorm for 2 weeks.

The carpet and foam was completely aired out and dryed but it smells reeeeally ...
