Hello, and thanks in advance for the help. In the process of changing out all my C70's interior lights to red LEDs, I've shorted out the auto window down relay attached to the base of my C70's window control switch. I was very fortunate not to have burned up the car... the switch was already loosely seated in the door panel and when I started to smell smoke (yes, I was driving at the time) I was able to remove it from the door shortly before it burst into flame. It was quite challenging to unplug the switch without catching myself on fire, and of course since it was the window control switch, I couldn't put the window down ;) Anyways, all very humorous in the end, I think it resulted from overheating the original LEDs when trying to remove them. They were sort of glued onto the board and very difficult to get off... plus the solder would not stick to the surface to allow me to mount the new ones. Anyways, long story short, I'm out a switch, and I don't think that warranty will cover this type of screw up :) As long as I've got to replace the switch, I'm going to do so with a 4-window switch control. This way, if I ever decide to rig up the rear windows for electric control (mine is a coupe), then I'll already have the switches. I understand the C70 convertible has electric rear windows, but I imagine that it will be far more difficult to find a wrecked C70 convertible than a reg. ol' S/V70. So, if the switch is the same, then that'll save me some time. Anyways, I'd like the measurements of the 4-window control switch if anyone could bop out to their car and take them for me. Thanks!
