Hi,
From what KlausC said there is two of those switches or latching mechanisms. He is the man that knows.
Locate the activators and see how they push them the hood position on them.
Activate each with your hand and a screwdriver or a wooden wedge to see if you can confirm that they do work.
Volvos don’t need the slamming of anything, they should just fit together in their intended positions.
I would say, hopefully, that its an adjustment gone sideways.
From what I have seen on a neighbors 2010 S60 SUV.
I saw where they are hidden underneath the grill work area.
My experience is the more expensive the car the more they hide how it works and how to access things.
Sales and job security.
That car is overly complicated for a 92 year old any gender.
To learn about its programming and putting the car “asleep” to keep it from down the battery in the garage from the dealer was my only help! That owners manual is plenty thick.
The daughter, who talked her mother into trading in a nicely kept Ford Taurus, really upgraded her, even though, it was a ten year old used one. Nice leather interior with only one radio station for those speakers.
The daughter and husband own a Lexus, a Ford Explorer and a ski boat and live off in a gated community 20 miles away.
You see, both are retired lawyers now that Mom said they made over $10-15k a month each and had to pay extra taxes this year.
Having things that are more complicated than necessary … well … that’s normal life for them folks.
Somewhere is this, I don’t feel disenfranchised one bit. (:-)
I enjoy our BRICKBOARD and it’s Brickster’s earthiness.
A 240 man and 17 years ago, I got my first car with a check engine light, that got me that car for a nice price and was a simple fix. (:)
