Electrical Problem or Gremlins in my XC V70-XC70 2001

Does any one know if the 2001 XC has any self reseting breakers or fuses? Yesterday I pulled my XC out of the garage, first the garage door opener would not work, then I realized the interior lights were not working (dome and visor mirror lights) and the door locks were not working properly. I assumed I had blown a fuse and would fix it later. Well, later I go out the car and all is well, everything is working again, didn't even loose my garage code. Very strange, anyone know what is going on? My warranty ran out last week..of course. Thanks, Fred J.

Electrical Problem or Gremlins in my XC V70-XC70 2001

This is a known bug on the '01 XC and requires a software upgrade (The Volvo tech told the computer goes into sleep mode for some unknown reason and takes out part of the control system).

The software upgrade definitely fixed the problem for me, but you can reset it yourself by cycling the key in the drivers door lock 3 times (so i was told).

Bob, Thanks for the advice, my dealer confirmed the software issue and upgraded my car.
