I would point FCP to this thread and see if they will agree to replace the switch for free if it solves your problem.

Returned the switch. FCP is great! They automatically sent a replacement. Installed it and voila... works like a champ. It was a defective switch all along. Unusual for a Volvo part, but I now know much more about the window systems.

On a positive note, it kept my son from loading up on crap from the drive through for about six months. He is glad to have operating windows just in time for Winter.

Thanks to all for the help.
