How do you replace the window switches in the rear door? 850 1996

Hello All,


I have a 1996 850 GLT wagon. The control switch for the window in the rear passenger door on the driver's side no longer works. It will send the window up, but not down. It seems the switch just pops out of the opening cut into the arm rest, but I don't want to "guess" and wind up breaking something. I looked through Haynes but there was no mention or illustration on how to remove the switch. If some one can tell me how to replace the switch or direct me to where I can get instructions on how to replace it, I would cheer! Thanks to all who reply.

Hugh

P.S. I have the Volvo replacement switch and just comprises of the "rocker button". It would appear, but I don't know for sure that you just pop the black plastic collar or bezel that surrounds the button. Again, I don't want to "guess".

    The plastic is getting old and brittle, so be very careful when prying up the switch. Not just the rocker arm but the whole plastic thing.

    Having a new rocker arm for the switch isn't going to help you much. There are micro springs and ball bearings inside wich tend to get lost when removing the rocker arm. Usually, what happens is the switch contacts get corroded.

      Klaus,

      Thank you. I have the replacement switch from Volvo. I appears that is is held in place by the black plastic collar or bezel that surrounds the switch, that in turn fits into the arm rest.
