No Power?

Post by Ragman »

So I just finished installing a new teflon ball cup for the bottom of the stick shift on my 98 S70-T5M. Touched nothing under the hood as far as electrical and yet when I came out today to put the key in to lower the windows while I work, I had no power at all. At first I thought it was the battery but i've had it on charge for 3 hours and it shows fully charged. Funny thing is when i closed the windows and locked it over night it was all working. I'm thinking a fuse but can't seem to find the one that might be bad. Then I thought relay but am not sure where to look. Any input is appreciated.The dash is dead as well, no lights, locks, nothing.

Other than the obvious stuff like clean battery terminals it might be the overload relays. They are relays 105, 106, and 107 but they are usually marked with a J.
