I have a 2005 S40 T5. When I unlock the doors with keyfob and when I open a door, the courtesy lighting does not come on.
However, when the car is on the lights will work when I turn them on. Checked fuses and no problem there. Is there an obvious fix I am not thinking of?
Courtesy Lighting not working on S40

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.
On the interior lighting switch panel there are three switches. The middle switch is for the courtesy lighting. It has three positions:
Press the left side of the switch: the interior courtesy lighting is always on.
Neutral position: the interior courtesy lighting comes on when a door is opened and is switched off by a dimmer when the door is closed.
Press the right side of the switch: the interior courtesy lighting is always off.
Check the switch to see if it has been pressed to the right.

Thanks Bill.
I found that interior switch panel and checked all three settings and when I have it in the neutral position the lights still don't work when a door is opened.
