Re: Horn Relay + Fuse keep blowing (V70, 2004)

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 inspec...

Re: Horn Relay + Fuse keep blowing (V70, 2004)

Thanks for the replies :) To clarify: 1. The fuse and relay blows if I honk the horn a few times (it works fine if I honk once but not twice in succession) 2. After the fuse and relay are replaced, the horn honks. It works fine unless I honk twice in succession... If I do that (easy to do), it will ...

Re: Any chance of saving carpet?

Sorry to bump a super old post -- (I lost my login). Now that I'm back I just thought I'd update on what finally happened: 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 ...

Re: Cowl Removal: Step by Step ?

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 p...

Re: Interior color info found

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

Any chance of saving carpet?

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 mus...

Re: Interior color info found

Can someone tell me if its possible to find interior color just by VIN? The junkyard only gives the VIN on their website and its a long drive away.
