got the dash in but no climate control (no power to it) and no dash lites. Tried replugging the big plugs on the left side of the lower dash but notta. Any ideas?

That's the ubiquitous 5 speed dash failure and it means you should give your car away to someone in NY..

Electricals (from memory)

Big connector on left under dash
Big connector on right in front of glove box

ELectronic climate control has 2 connectors that need to be firmly into the front of the ECC control unit.

Make sure you are fully seating all these connectors and closing the connector latch. The electrical hardware on these cars is very high quality stuff, btw.

will try again... I don't even like a black car. I wanted a saffron one but they were beat.

I keep looking at Saffron c70's and V70 saffron wagons and drooling.

I'm nuts...

I had the intention to paint this one saffron...
looking at wiring diagrams to see what the difference between 2000 and 1999 was ...

revisited the donor car and it looks like it is a 1998 v70 pooh…

I have scoured 98 and 00 wiring diagrams and they look pretty similar.

still working on it.

Ok waiting on a 2000 c70 dash wire harness… the old one worked kind of but could have been fixed.

The PO had a drywall screw thru the center of the wire loom on the drivers side. He did this to keep the dash under pieces on.

Hope the new wire harness will get it back to working. The interior looks great just need it to work like before.

I'll bet the PO didn't even colour match that drywall screw....the audacity...
