Hello,
I have Volvo S80 MY00 TDI with multifunction steering wheel - cruise control, volume etc...
But it doesnt have backlight on the buttons. Is it some way how to adapt it to backlight function.
I tried to get steering wheel ring with connectors for buttons with backlight and buttons. But I found a problem under the ring. It is not compatibile with PCB under.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you

Re: Volvo S80 MY00 backlight on the steering wheel
My 2004 are backlit to match dash buttons. I think my 2002 S80 buttons were too though I can't 100% remember. So maybe install a set off a 04 or perhaps a connection is bad on yours that powers the backlighting? If I think of it tonight I'll take a picture. June

Re: Volvo S80 MY00 backlight on the steering wheel
Hello thank you for response. But there is a problem. I tried to connect buttons from MY2004 with backlight, but the ring under the steering wheel is for 2 pins airbag - first problem. Second problem is under the new ring. There is a connector in PCB for ring which is not compatible.
So... maybe there is a option, but even with that PCB replacement, but I dont know what is under.

Re: Volvo S80 MY00 backlight on the steering wheel
So the 2000 never were lit then. My father's last couple of Town Cars had the lights under the window switch go out variously. I was hoping for your sake maybe the lights had gone out. Thus far all dash/switches, both door and steering wheel/and console still work. Being as Ford same era and Ford owning Volvo in 04 either I am lucky or Volvo just did it better.

Here are the things that light up on my 2004 S80 I didn't bother photographing the rear doors and passenger door switches but they light too. June

Re: Volvo S80 MY00 backlight on the steering wheel
The no backlights on the steering wheel drove me nuts so I bought an 04 wheel and had the same issue with the wiring harness not being compatible so I pulled the lit buttons out of the 04 wheel and installed them in the 00 wheel, grabbed power from another source inside the wheel. I think maybe the radio control and lit the leds that way. It was a bit messy but easy and it's been functioning now for 9 years no issues.
