'98 S70, rear defroster switch blows light switch fuse, and all lights go dead

[woodchopper]

The fuse blew again after my last post. I got a used headlight switch from the Volvo wreckers here in Toronto. That was about a month ago and so far the fuse has not blown. Might be too soon to be sure but apparently something can break inside the switch causing a short. I'll post again in about a month.

There was a recall with the light switches many years ago, so yes they do go bad.
